EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sculpture that represents the essence of Buddhism. The image features a bodhisattva, an enlightened being who has attained the state of Buddha but chooses to delay entering nirvana in order to help others on their spiritual journey. Crafted from red gres in the 2nd century, this exquisite artwork originates from Mathura, India. The bodhisattva is depicted with great skill and attention to detail, emanating a sense of tranquility and wisdom. Standing at 0.42 meters tall, this sculpture now resides in the Musee Guimet in Paris, France as part of its collection dedicated to Asian arts. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate carving and delicate features of this ancient masterpiece. It serves as a testament to both Indian artistry and Buddhist philosophy, showcasing themes such as life after death and reincarnation that are central to these traditions. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the profound impact Buddhism has had on countless lives throughout history. The bodhisattva's refusal to enter nirvana symbolizes compassion and selflessness – qualities that continue to inspire individuals seeking enlightenment today. Through this photograph by Josse, we can appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind this sculpture but also gain insight into one of humanity's oldest religions - Buddhism - which continues to shape beliefs and practices around the world.
