EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gautama Buddha, the revered founder of Buddhism. Born as Prince Siddhartha Gautama in ancient India around 563-483 BC, he embarked on a spiritual journey that led him to become an influential Indian spiritual teacher. Prior to attaining Enlightenment at the age of 35, Gautama spent time as an ascetic and hermit before devoting himself to meditation. In this artwork titled "Lochana Buddha" we witness a classical representation of Gautama Buddha during his enlightened state. The colored illustration from Henri Dore's 1914 edition of "Recherche sur les Superstitions en Chine" beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure. Clad in traditional robes and seated in the lotus position, Gautama exudes tranquility and divine wisdom. The halo surrounding his head symbolizes his elevated spiritual status while reflecting the profound impact he had on human history and religious philosophy. This image portrays a moment frozen in time when Gautama is deeply engrossed in meditation, transcending earthly boundaries through levitation. As one gazes upon this remarkable piece of art, it serves as a reminder not only of Buddhism's origins but also of the universal quest for enlightenment and inner peace pursued by people throughout centuries. It encapsulates both the reverence bestowed upon Gautama Buddha as a religious leader and his significant contributions towards guiding humanity towards nirvana – liberation from suffering. This photograph print is truly an exquisite portrayal capturing the essence of one man's extraordinary journey towards awakening - Siddhartha Gautama, known to us all as Gautama Buddha.
