EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the Terrace of the Leper King in Angkor Thom, Cambodia. The intricate stone carving, created in the Bayon style under Jayavarman VII, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and architectural brilliance of ancient Khmer civilization. The name "Leper King" originates from a statue of Hindu god Yama situated within these grounds. Over time, moss covered this statue, giving it an appearance reminiscent of someone afflicted with leprosy. This unique feature adds an intriguing layer to the historical significance and visual allure of this site. In this image, we are drawn into a world where religious devotion meets artistic mastery. The relief carving depicts cross-legged figures seated on an ornate facade adorned with decorative motifs and symbols representing various gods. Each element contributes to the overall grandeur and splendor that defines Khmer architecture. Photographed by eLuca Tettoni and now out of copyright restrictions, this print captures not only the beauty but also preserves a piece of history for generations to come. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with our past. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable artwork through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate its intricacy and immerse ourselves in the wonders of Cambodian culture without any commercial intentions or usage mentioned here.
