EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Standing Bodhisattva Guanyin, a revered figure in Buddhism. Created during the Tang Dynasty in China between 700-750 AD, this gilt bronze sculpture stands at a height of 24.7 cm and is currently housed in the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, USA. The Bodhisattva Guanyin, also known as Avalokitesvara in Sanskrit, is depicted here in all its glory. The intricate details and craftsmanship of this statue are truly remarkable. Every curve and line on the bodhisattva's serene face exudes compassion and tranquility. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be captivated by the spiritual aura that emanates from it. It serves as a reminder of the deep devotion and faith that Buddhism instills within its followers. The standing posture symbolizes readiness to assist those who seek enlightenment or liberation from suffering. With one hand gently holding a lotus flower - an emblem of purity - and another raised palm facing outward in a gesture of blessing or protection, Bodhisattva Guanyin embodies benevolence and mercy. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary work of art but also invites us to contemplate our own spiritual journey. It reminds us to cultivate kindness towards others while seeking inner peace ourselves. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported into a world where religious devotion meets artistic brilliance – an eternal testament to humanity's quest for transcendence through faith.
