EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the symbolic representation of Buddha's hand, a popular motif in Buddhist art between the 1368 and 1644 period, during the Ming Dynasty in China. The intricately detailed image showcases the cracked and damaged texture of the hand, which symbolizes impermanence and the transient nature of life in Buddhist philosophy. The hand, inked in bold strokes, appears to be suspended in mid-air against a plain background, drawing the viewer's focus to the intricacies of the design. The lines and cracks on the hand are rendered with great care, creating a sense of depth and dimension. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of China during the Ming and Sixteenth centuries. It is believed to have originally been part of a larger mural or wall painting, possibly from a temple or monastery. The print's current state, with its faded colors and slight damage, adds to its authenticity and historical significance. The Cernuschi Museum in Paris, an institution dedicated to Asian art, is now the proud owner of this rare and beautiful piece. The museum's extensive collection of Asian art spans various continents, countries, and centuries, making it a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Buddhism on Asian art and culture, and the importance of preserving and celebrating our artistic heritage. The intricate details and symbolism of this image continue to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and a connection to the present.
