EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Buddhism known as "Mahaparinirva" or "parinirvana" which symbolizes the end of the earthly existence of Buddha and his attainment of nirvana. The image showcases a detailed low relief carving on black stone from the 2nd century BC, found at the Bharhut Stupa in Kolkata's Indian Museum. The intricate artwork depicts the final moments before Buddha's death, highlighting his serene expression and peaceful posture. This portrayal beautifully conveys the essence of Buddhism, emphasizing enlightenment and liberation from suffering. The artist, Luisa Ricciarini, skillfully captures this mythological event with great attention to detail. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and spiritual transcendence that is characteristic of Buddhist art. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the profound impact Buddhism has had on Asian culture and spirituality. It serves as a visual reminder that there is more to life than our earthly existence – it encourages us to seek inner peace and strive for enlightenment. Through its rich symbolism and masterful craftsmanship, this print invites us to reflect on our own journey towards self-discovery and spiritual growth. It stands as a testament to both the artistic legacy of ancient India and the enduring wisdom found within Buddhist teachings.
