EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient art, the "Seated Buddha (Shakyamuni) with standing bodhisattvas". Created during the Period of Division in China and dated back to 549 CE, this sculpture is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Buddhism. The image captures the intricate details carved into the stone sculpture. The Seated Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni or Shaka Nyorai, sits serenely on a white background. His hands are positioned in Varadamudra, a gesture symbolizing granting boons and blessings. Flanked by two standing bodhisattvas or Bosatsu, they exude an aura of tranquility and compassion. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and line has been meticulously carved to create a lifelike representation of these revered figures. The mandorla behind them adds an ethereal touch while highlighting their divine nature. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as both an educational tool for those interested in Buddhism and a reminder of our shared human history. As we gaze upon this studio shot image captured by an unknown artist, we are transported back centuries ago when Chinese culture flourished under the Wei Dynasty during the Six Dynasties period. This photograph invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journeys
