Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The buddhist deity Vajradhara. Hollow dry lacquer inlaid with semiprecious stones, H. 78.7 cm x W. 59.6 cm x D. 48.3 cm. Probably 1736-1795, Chengde, Hebei province. Qing dynasty. This sculpture combines the ancient Chinese tradition of lacquered wood sculpture with Tibetan symbolism and decorative approaches. The Manchu emperors of the Qing dynasty maintained close relations with the leading religious families in Tibet, and Tibetan Buddhism was practiced by many at the Qing court. The Qianlong emperor had a particularly strong attachment to Tibetan Buddhism, and many spectacular works of art were commissioned by the imperial family for use in Tibetan Buddhist temples in Beijing and other centers in northern China during his reign. These works were created under the supervision of Tibetan monks and in a style that is definitely Tibetan; however, many of these sculptures, including this example, were produced at the Qing imperial workshops and most likely by Chinese artisans.
Français : La divinité bouddhiste Vajradhara. Bois laqué à la laque sèche sur une âme creuse, doré et incrusté de pierres semi-précieuses, H. 78,7 cm x L. 59,6 cm x P. 48,3 cm . Probablement 1736-1795, Chengde, province du Hebei. Dynastie Qing. Cette sculpture combine l'ancienne tradition chinoise de la sculpture en bois laqué avec l’approche tibétaine symbolique et décorative. Les empereurs mandchous de la dynastie Qing entretenaient des relations étroites avec les grandes familles religieuses du Tibet et le bouddhisme tibétain a été beaucoup pratiqué à la cour des Qing. L'empereur Qianlong avait un attachement particulièrement fort au bouddhisme tibétain, et de nombreuses œuvres d'art spectaculaires ont été commandées par la famille impériale pour des temples bouddhistes tibétains à Beijing et dans d'autres centres du nord de la Chine. Elles ont été réalisées, pour la plupart, sous la supervision de moines tibétains et dans un style assurément tibétain. Toutefois, un grand nombre d’entre elles, y compris cet exemple, ont été produites dans les ateliers impériaux Qing et très probablement par des artisans chinois.
