Beijing Buddha Feet Llama Peking Seventy Slides Upper
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide presents an awe-inspiring view of the upper part of a seventy-feet high image of Buddha housed in the Great Lama Temple in Peking, China, circa 1890s. The image of Buddha, a significant cultural and religious icon, is an embodiment of peace, wisdom, and enlightenment. The intricately carved and gilded details of the Buddha statue are beautifully illuminated by the warm glow of traditional Chinese lanterns, creating a mesmerizing sight. The Great Lama Temple, also known as Yonghegong, is a renowned Buddhist temple located in the heart of Beijing. Established during the Qing Dynasty, the temple is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of China. This image of Buddha, one of the largest and most revered statues in the temple, is a popular attraction for both locals and tourists alike. The late 19th century was a time of significant cultural exchange between China and the Western world. Lantern slides, such as this one, were a popular medium for sharing visuals of far-off lands and exotic cultures with audiences in Europe and North America. This slide offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of Chinese art and architecture during a time when travel was a luxury few could afford. The intricate details of the Buddha statue, the warm glow of the lanterns, and the serene atmosphere of the temple are all captured in this stunning lantern slide, making it a valuable historical artifact and a testament to the enduring allure of Chinese culture.
