Fin de la Dynastie Ming (1368-1644)/début de la Dynastie Qing (1644-1911)
AN IMPORTANT AND VERY LARGE PORTRAIT OF SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA
Late Ming/early Qing Dynasty
Ink and colour on silk, hanging scroll
This impressive painting portrays Shakyamuni seated in equilibrium, with his right hand raised in abhaya mudra and his left hand lowered in varada mudra. He is seated in dhyanasana with feet placed sole up on the thigh of the opposite leg, his right foot over the left foot, on a low waisted lotus petal base supported on an elaborate multi-tiered throne, wearing a long flowing red robe with hems delicately detailed with gold-painted lotus scrolls over a green scarf with colourful five-clawed dragon borders on a black ground, gathered gracefully around his shoulders, tied in a simple knot and revealing his bare chest. He is depicted in his formal appearance, gazing forward in a serene, meditative expression with partially closed eyes below thin, arched eyebrows, his blue hair in tight curls around a protruding ushnisha, his earlobes and chest devoid of any jewellery.
The tiered throne that supports the buddha represents Mount Sumeru, the mountain at the centre of the universe in Buddhist cosmology, anchored at the centre of the painting. Mount Sumeru is believed to have a square base and an hour-glass shape. On this painting, the throne is elaborately detailed, each tier with alternating rows of lotus panels below flaming pearls on pedestals, below three larger panels of flaming corals and other precious objects on the topmost tier, with bejewelled and beaded chimes suspended from gilt dragon heads at each corner, swaying gently to one side. The mandorla that forms the back of the throne incorporates an inner border of alternating blue and green waves framing a cerulean blue and green centre enhancing the profile of Shakyamuni, and an outer border of interlinked scrolling flames that serve as a symbolic protector of the nimbus, as well as of the meditative scene. A sumptuous double canopy lavishly decorated with bejewelled chimes and beaded pendants and ribbons forms a veil, and a gilt framework terminating in flaming pearls towers over the buddha enhancing the divinity of the image. Two gliding on coloured clouds, descend from the heavens and flank the canopy above the buddha.
The lower part of the painting is dominated by the vibrant green ground accommodating the central throne, the upper part of the painting is filled with multi-coloured clouds streaked with gold banners against a cerulean blue background. At the very top of the painting is an inscription written in gold within a double-line gold cartouche reading '' (Homage to the Venerable Shakyamuni Buddha).
The title slip bearing the inscriptions reading and , accompanied by the seal reading , the wood scroll ends carved with the four characters , referring to the studio of Yuan Shikai.
