  • Project: Xiangtangshan Caves
  • Work Description: The simple clothing worn by this Buddha echoes the modest robes worn by the historical Buddha when he reached enlightenment after an intense period of meditation. Behind the figure is an ornate halo or aureole, decorated with flowers and an inner ring of lotus petals. The symmetrical composition of the sculpture intensifies the calmness reflected in the Buddha's face. Traces of red, black and green pigment on the head hint at the brightly coloured surface of the figure in earlier times.

Monk, 3D model
  • Title Translation: 僧
  • Period: Sui Dynasty, 589 CEā€“618 CE
  • Project: Xiangtangshan Caves
  • Work Description: ā€œExpressing serene dignity, these youthful monks stand erect, their eyes downcast and hands firmly joined in reverent prayer. Their long earlobes allude to earrings that were worn by the Buddha as a young Indian prince and to his rejection of material wealth. Characteristic of Sui dynasty sculpture, the monksā€™ sharply defined facial features and the folds of their robes enhance the figuresā€™ flat, understated modeling. Each of their robes was originally painted with rectangles of different colors, signifying the patchwork mantle worn by the Buddha and by pious monks who emulated his humble values. Only shadowy traces of these pigments are now evident.ā€ ā€” Art Institute of Chicago, Monk, accessed February 28, 2025, https://www.artic.edu/artworks/11094/monk.
