注脚
西藏 十六/十七世紀 寶生佛唐卡 With vivid colors, lavish use of gold, and dynamic mythical animals, the painting's artist has created a vigorous, beautiful, and potent image of the Presiding Buddha Ratnasambhava. It is likely from a set depicting the Five Presiding Buddhas, each surrounded by approximately two-hundred miniature Buddha images with alternating mudras, together representing The Thousand Buddhas of this aeon. The schema follows an earlier painting tradition, thought to maximize the merit produced by each thangka. One such earlier, 15th-century Ratnasambhava thangka sold at Bonhams, New York, 19 March 2018, lot 3023. Compare the present thangka with another closely related and of the same subject in the collection of Barbara and Walter Frey (HAR 69110). A 16th-century thangka of Amitabha also shares a similar composition and vibrant palette against a dark blue background (Sotheby's, New York, 22 March 2018, lot 934).
