EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stone sculpture by Maha Kasyapa, an ascetic disciple of Buddha during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The artwork is showcased at the Shanghai National Museum and was expertly photographed by Leonard de Selva in 2006. The sculpture depicts Maha Kasyapa, a revered figure in Buddhism, who dedicated his life to spiritual practice and enlightenment. Through intricate carving and attention to detail, this piece showcases the artistic mastery of Chinese craftsmen from the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of China. It serves as a testament to the profound influence that Buddhism had on Chinese civilization. Leonard de Selva's photography beautifully captures every nuance of this remarkable work of art. The lighting highlights each delicate feature while also emphasizing its age and historical significance. As we gaze upon this portrait-like sculpture, we are reminded of the deep spirituality that permeates Buddhist traditions. Its serene expression invites contemplation and reflection on life's greater mysteries. This photograph not only celebrates ancient Asian art but also pays homage to Leonard de Selva's skillful eye for capturing beauty through his lens. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations – it transcends time and connects us with our shared human history.
