EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Tibetan art from the 16th century. The image features a gilded bronze sculpture of Yamantaka, an important deity in Buddhism known as the "Destroyer of Death". Standing at 19.1x12.7 cm, this intricate artwork is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this exquisite sculpture. The gilded bronze shines with traces of pigments that add depth and vibrancy to its appearance. Every curve and contour has been meticulously carved, capturing Yamantaka's fierce expression and powerful presence. Yamantaka symbolizes wisdom and compassion, embodying both peaceful and wrathful aspects within Buddhist philosophy. This sculpture serves as a visual representation of these qualities, inviting viewers to contemplate the duality inherent in life. Part of The Alice S. Kandell Collection, this artwork holds immense historical significance as it offers insight into Tibetan culture during the 16th century. It also highlights traditional casting techniques and expert gilding methods employed by Tibetan artisans. As we admire this stunning portrayal of Yamantaka through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its spiritual symbolism that continues to inspire devotion among Buddhists worldwide.
