EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 12th-13th century print depicts Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, in a serene and contemplative pose. The figure is carved in stucco, a technique common in South and Southeast Asian art of the time. The intricate details of his robes, the delicate folds of his skin, and the peaceful expression on his face are all testament to the masterful craftsmanship of the unknown artist. Buddha Shakyamuni, also known as Shaka Nyorai or Shijiamouni, is the founder of Buddhism, a major world religion that originated in ancient India over 2,500 years ago. The Buddha's teachings, which emphasize the principles of compassion, wisdom, and the end of suffering, have spread throughout Asia and beyond, shaping the cultural, philosophical, and artistic traditions of the continent. This print is believed to have originated from Thailand, a country rich in Buddhist heritage and artistic expression. The Buddha's image has been a source of inspiration and devotion for millions of Buddhists throughout history, and this print is a testament to the enduring power of Buddhist art to move and inspire. The print is now part of the South Asian and Southeast Asian collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of Asian art in the United States. The museum's holdings span over 6,000 years of history and represent the diverse artistic traditions of the Asian continent. This print is a valuable addition to the museum's collection, not only for its historical significance but also for its artistic merit. The print invites us to reflect on the rich cultural heritage of Asia and the enduring relevance of Buddhist teachings in our modern world.
