EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 12th century thangka painting, believed to date from the 1160s to 1180s, showcases the enlightened Buddha and the compassionate goddess Green Tara. The painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia during this period. Tara, a Bodhisattva or enlightened being, is depicted sitting gracefully on a lotus flower, surrounded by a serene mountain paradise. With her left hand, she reaches out to offer refuge to men and women, while her right hand is in the gesture of granting wishes. Green Tara is revered as a savior who navigates individuals across the negative emotions that obstruct the path to supreme peace and happiness, or nirvana. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the lush green hue of Tara's body and the rich reds and golds of her attire, adds to the painting's visual allure. The painting's intricate details, such as the delicate lotus petals and the intricate patterns on Tara's clothing, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown artist. This thangka painting is a valuable addition to the collection of the Walters Art Museum, providing a glimpse into the religious and artistic traditions of Tibetan Buddhism during the 12th century. The painting's ability to evoke a sense of tranquility and spirituality continues to captivate viewers, making it a cherished piece of heritage art.
