Framed Hand Painted Life History of Buddha Thangka on Canvas 24K Gold

1985

About the Item

This professionally framed "Life History of Buddha" thangka is hand painted on canvas with 24K real gold. Shimmering gold brush strokes and dark color palette with illustrative work makes it an admirable piece of art. Measurement of art without the frame: 24" x 18" *Glare is seen on pics due to frame. A handout on process of making a thangka will be included with the purchase. The thangka painting of the “Life of Buddha” depicts key episodes in the life of Siddhartha Gautama, known as Gautama Buddha. These works of art serve as visual accounts and are often used for meditation, study, and religious devotion within Buddhism practice. This Thangka portrays key stages of the Buddha's life history from birth to attainment of Nirvana. Notable for intricate brushwork and vivid colors complimented by gold adornments, this magnificent work of art captures the very essence of the Buddha's life story. Crafted with conventional tools and materials, it is truly an admirable sight to behold that celebrates the beauty of spiritual devotion. The paintings of the Buddha's life at times portray more of the meaningful events and encounters in his life. 1. The descent from Tushita. 2. Entering the mother’s womb. 3. Taking birth. 4. Leaving his family. 5. Overcoming Mara, 6. Turning the Wheel of Dharma. 7. Passing into Nirvana or Parinirvana. These thangka paintings are not meant to be solely illustrations of the events in the life of the historical Buddha, but they are also seen to be a visual representation of different philosophical aspects of Buddhism, especially the gradual progress towards the achievement of spiritual enlightenment.
