Tibetan Thangkas: Pictures with a Story
Original language description
Thangkas are Tibetan pictures largely painted using mineral pigments on canvas, with subjects that include Tibetan Buddhist figures, such as deities, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Dharmapalas and distinguished spiritual teachers from a variety of schools. We have selected the finest narrative works of Tibetan painting housed in the Collection of Asian Art of the National Gallery in Prague. We have proceeded chronologically, from the representation of the Gautama Buddha, followed by the Arhats and Mahasiddhas,to Indian and Tibetan Buddhist masters. We have chosen masters and paintings from the three different Buddhist traditions: the Kadam, Sakya and Gelug Schools. Owing to the prevalence of followers of the Gelug School in Tibet, this school?s artistic output is largest in number, which is reflected in their representation in art collections. The National Gallery?s Collection of Asian Art is no exception. It is interesting to compare the Gallery?s paintings with those in world collections. P
