EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Water-Moon Avalokiteshvara, also known as Suwol Gwaneum bosal, a masterpiece from the mid-14th century. Created by an unknown artist, this artwork is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Korea. The image depicts a male figure standing barefoot on a branch with his hands gesturing gracefully. The deity's serene expression and halo exude an aura of divinity and enlightenment. Painted using ink color and gold on silk, every intricate detail reflects the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. As a significant religious symbol in Buddhism, Avalokiteshvara represents compassion and mercy towards all living beings. This painting serves as an educational tool for those seeking to understand Buddhist teachings and philosophy. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this hanging scroll painting holds immense cultural value. Its vibrant colors and meticulous brushwork transport viewers back to 14th-century Korea while offering insight into the spiritual beliefs that shaped Korean society during that time. Heritage Images presents this extraordinary piece without any commercial intentions but rather aims to preserve and appreciate artistry through photography.
