EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall painting recovered from a dilapidated shrine at Miran, dating back to the 3rd or 4th century. Discovered by the renowned archaeologist Sir Marc Aurel Stein in 1907, this ancient artwork offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious heritage of the time. The painting depicts Buddha, the enlightened one, surrounded by six devoted disciples. Each figure is meticulously detailed, with vibrant colors that have stood the test of time. One disciple can be seen carrying a chauri, while on the right side stands Sumedhu, an important character from Buddhist folklore known as Jataka. The image not only captures the beauty and intricacy of this historical masterpiece but also serves as a testament to human resilience and curiosity. Despite being hidden within ruins for centuries, this wall painting has managed to survive and tell its story. As we observe every brushstroke and expression on these figures' faces, we are transported back in time to witness their devotion and spirituality firsthand. This photograph is not just an archaeological find; it is a window into our shared past—a reminder of how art can transcend generations and connect us with those who came before us. Thanks to publications like The Studio Volume 124 from The Studio Ltd. , London & New York in 1942, we have been granted access to appreciate this extraordinary piece of history preserved through both ink and lens.
