A FINE THANGKA DEPICTING THE TWELVE DEEDS OF BUDDHA, 18TH-19TH CENTURY
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Sino-Tibetan. Gold paint and distemper on cloth, mounted on a silk brocade frame. Finely painted with the central Buddha seated in dhyanasana on a lotus throne with his right hand lowered in bhumisparsha mudra, dressed in loose-fitting monastic robes, backed by a mandorla and nimbus. He is surrounded by various scenes from his life, depicting him in Parinirvana at the lower register and heavenly scenes of the ascended Buddha in the upper register. The top centered by Vajradhara in union with his consort.

Provenance: The Kienzle Family Collection, Stuttgart, Germany. Acquired between 1950 and 1985 by siblings Else (1912-2006), Reinhold (1917-2008), and Dr. Horst Kienzle (1924-2019), during their extensive travels in Asia. Subsequently inherited by Dr. Horst Kienzle and bequeathed to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, Germany. Released through museum deaccession in 2024. The Kienzle siblings were avid travelers and passionate collectors of Asian and Islamic art. During their travels, the Kienzle’s sought out and explored temples, monasteries, and markets, always trying to find the best pieces wherever they went, investing large sums of money and forging lasting relationships to ensure they could acquire them. Their fervor and success in this pursuit is not only demonstrated by their collection but further recorded in correspondences between Horst Kienzle and several noted dignitaries, businesses and individuals in Nepal and Ladakh. Their collection had gained renown by the 1970s, but the Kienzle’s stopped acquiring new pieces around 1985. Almost thirty years later, the collection was moved to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, opened by Peter Hardt in 2014. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter Hardt and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.

The scenes depicted in this thangka depict the Twelve Deeds of Buddha:

  1. Descent from Tushita Heaven: The Buddha, as a Bodhisattva, chose to descend from Tushita Heaven in the form of an elephant to take birth in the human realm to guide sentient beings.
  2. Entering the Womb: The Bodhisattva entered the womb of Queen Maya, the wife of King Suddhodana of the Sakya clan, as an act of compassion.
  3. Miraculous Birth: Siddhartha Gautama was born in Lumbini, emerging from Queen Maya’s side, and immediately took seven steps, and at each step, a lotus flower appeared on the ground.
  4. Mastering Arts and Skills: As a young prince, Siddhartha excelled in various skills and knowledge, demonstrating his extraordinary abilities and wisdom.
  5. Marriage and Palace Life: Siddhartha married Princess Yasodhara and lived a life of luxury in the palace, shielded from the realities of suffering.
  6. Renunciation: After witnessing the Four Sights (an old man, a sick man, a dead body, and a renunciate), he abandoned his royal life in search of the truth about suffering.
  7. Austerities and Asceticism: Siddhartha practiced extreme asceticism and self-mortification in the forest for six years but eventually realized that this was not the path to enlightenment.
  8. Rejection of Austerities: Recognizing the futility of extreme practices, Siddhartha accepted food and abandoned asceticism, symbolizing the "Middle Way" between indulgence and austerity.
  9. Meditation under the Bodhi Tree: Siddhartha meditated under the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, vowing not to rise until he attained enlightenment.
  10. Defeat of Mara: During his meditation, he overcame the temptations and challenges posed by Mara, the personification of obstacles and delusions.
  11. Enlightenment: Siddhartha attained complete awakening and became the Buddha, realizing the Four Noble Truths and the nature of existence.
  12. Teaching and Passing into Parinirvana: The Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the Dharma to guide sentient beings toward liberation. At the age of 80, he entered Parinirvana, passing beyond the cycle of birth and death.
