EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing artwork titled "Maras assaults. East Tibet, second half of the 19th century". Created by the Tibetan School in the 19th century, this xylography painted on canvas is a thangka that depicts significant episodes from the life of Buddha. In the center of this intricate composition, we see Shakayumi taking possession of the land as a witness looks on. Positioned beneath Buddha are various symbolic figures - Mara, representing temptation and desire; the Goddess Earth; and Mara's daughters. On either side of Buddha stand demons associated with Mara. The top part of this masterpiece portrays Awakening, while at its bottom lies an evocation of the first sermon yet to come - a vision of Teacher Buddha. The artist skillfully captures these profound moments through vivid colors and meticulous details. Photographed by Sylvain Collet, this image allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also delve into Asian religious mythology and Buddhism itself. It serves as a powerful symbol reflecting both spiritual enlightenment and human struggles against worldly temptations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in East Tibetan history during the latter half of the 19th century. This photograph truly encapsulates art's ability to transcend time and space while offering us glimpses into diverse cultures and their rich traditions.
