Description |
English: Painted covers and single folio from the Ashtasahasrika Prajnaparamita Manuscript. Gold ink on paper. Sanskrit.
According to Pratapaditya Pal "Of the later illuminated manuscripts of the Prajndpdramita , the most interesting is that copied in 1511 and now preserved in the Royal Library in Copenhagen. Although the manuscript itself is illuminated only with hieratic images, its covers are richly painted with scenes from the life of the Buddha and there seems no doubt that the same artist was responsible for both. Apart from depicting the usual scenes from the life of the Buddha, he has introduced a few others such as Siddhartha's departure from the palace, the cutting of his hair, and his being offered food by the maiden Sujata. Besides such thematic additions, the paintings are rendered in a style altogether different from that of the earlier illuminations. (The Arts of Nepal. II - Painting.., Brill, Leiden 1978, p. 51) Nepal, 1511. Royal Library, Copenhagen |
