EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning 18th-century Tibetan thangka painting depicting Buddha and three Jakata: Mahakapi, Ruru, and Shaabhamiga. Created by the Tibetan School in the 18th century, this artwork is executed with detrempe on canvas. The thangka portrays three animal Jataka stories that hold great significance in Buddhist mythology. In the top right corner, we witness the Great Monkey (Mahakapi Jataka), where the future Buddha sacrifices his own life to save his fellow monkeys from oppression. On the left side, depicted as a deer with an exquisite coat (Ruru Jataka), the future Buddha rescues a king who was hunting him from drowning. Lastly, at the bottom right corner lies the Shaarabhamiga Jataka; here, a magnificent creature half-lion and half-cervid saves its hunter from falling into a treacherous precipice. Photographed by Sylvain Collet, this image captures every intricate detail of this remarkable piece of art. The vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork bring these ancient tales to life while showcasing Tibet's rich cultural heritage. This photograph serves as a testament to both Buddhism's profound teachings and Tibet's artistic legacy. It invites viewers to delve into these timeless narratives of compassion, selflessness, and salvation while appreciating their symbolic representation through masterful painting techniques.
