Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Sehr gut. Softcover, 444 pages, numerous colour illustrations, very good condition. Massive volume showing the evolution of the Siddha portraits from their origins in India to the well known classic samples from Tibet and China. Important also for the text contributions, i.a. E. Gene Smith, Siddha Groups and the Mahasiddhas in the Art and Literature of Tibet; Christian Luczanits, The Eight Great Siddhas in Early Tibetan Painting; David Jackson, Situ Panchen`s Paintings of the Eight Great Siddhas: A Fateful Gift to Derge and the World; and several more. I.a. with the famous Siddha Thangkas from the Essen Collection, now in Basel Museum, the Riwoche Portrait of Jnanatapa, the marvelous Virupa Thangka of the Kronos Collection, sourced several years ago from Koller/Zurich, where it was offered with a fantastically low estimate previous to its restauration, and many more important (and beautiful) objects. Out of print and hard to obtain. Very heavy book, additional shipping likely. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 2700. Artikel-Nr. 26706
