EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 15th century or later print depicts Buddha Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, in a serene and contemplative seated position. The image, hailing from South or Southeast Asia, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the region. The Buddha is shown with his legs crossed in the full lotus position, his hands resting in his lap in the mudra of meditation. His face is peaceful and expressionless, his eyes closed in deep concentration. The figure is made of copper alloy, with traces of lacquer and gilding, adding to its visual allure. Buddha Shakyamuni, also known as Shaka Nyorai or Shijiamouni, is the embodiment of enlightenment and compassion in Buddhism. He is believed to have lived in ancient India around the 5th or 6th century BCE and is revered by millions of Buddhists around the world. This print is a valuable addition to the South and Southeast Asian art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Buddhism on the artistic and cultural landscape of Asia and beyond. The image invites contemplation and reflection, offering a glimpse into the deep spiritual traditions of the past. The exact origins of the print are unknown, but its presence in LACMA's collection allows it to be shared and appreciated by a wider audience, contributing to the ongoing dialogue between art, history, and spirituality.
