EDITORS COMMENTS
Vajrabhairava with Vajravetali" is an 18th century art piece depicting the enlightened and wrathful deity Vajrabhairava, the Buddhist conqueror of death, in a powerful embrace with his female partner, Vajravetali. Vajrabhairava's nine heads represent various aspects of the deity and include that of a buffalo, symbolizing the defeated god of death, and the crowning yellow face of Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom. The central crown of skulls atop Vajrabhairava's head is adorned with images of the five peaceful Buddhas, serving as a reminder that the deity's gruesome imagery, which forces us to confront our deepest fears, ultimately supports the goal of enlightenment. This masterpiece, believed to be from Tibet or the Tibetan region, is an excellent example of the rich artistic heritage of Asian Buddhism. The use of tempera on cloth adds depth and texture to the painting, making the figures appear lifelike and vivid. The colors, predominantly blue and red, evoke a sense of tranquility and intensity, respectively. The image of Vajrabhairava and Vajravetali is a powerful representation of the dynamic interplay between compassion and wrath in Buddhism. Vajrabhairava's fierce appearance is meant to inspire fear and awe, while Vajravetali's calming presence represents the compassionate aspect of the deity. This artwork is a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhist art and philosophy, which continues to captivate and inspire people around the world. The Walters Art Museum is fortunate to have this beautiful piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate and learn from the rich cultural heritage it represents.
