Caption: This print captures a poignant moment in history, depicting Buddha on his deathbed surrounded by his devoted disciples and animals expressing their profound grief. Created around the 8th century, this painting is a copy of an even older original, showcasing the enduring legacy of Buddhist art. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility amidst sorrow as Buddha lies peacefully on his bed, emanating an aura of enlightenment even in his final moments. His followers gather around him with expressions filled with both reverence and anguish, their devotion evident in every brushstroke. The inclusion of animals adds another layer of emotion to the scene; they too mourn the imminent loss of their spiritual guide. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to each element within it - from the intricate details adorning Buddha's robes to the delicate features etched onto each disciple's face. This horizontal piece invites viewers into its world, allowing them to witness this significant event unfold before their eyes. Displayed at Italy Veneto's Oriental Art Museum, this masterpiece by an unknown artist showcases not only religious significance but also historical importance. It serves as a testament to Buddhism's enduring impact throughout centuries and across continents. Photographed by Santiago Ortega, this image preserves a fleeting moment frozen in time – one that continues to resonate with audiences today through its portrayal of pain and spirituality intertwined.
