Bodhisattva pensoso

mid-7th century
Not on view
Immagini del bodhisattva pensoso venivano eseguite in ogni parte dell’Asia. In Corea la tipologia si affermò come importante icona buddista nel corso del VI e VII secolo, in particolare nei regni di Baekje e Silla. La figura seduta qui illustrata è tra le meglio conservate e le più straordinarie. È pervasa da un’energia sottile e pur tangibile, espressa nei particolari come le dita delle mani e dei piedi arcuate e verosimili. I capelli intrecciati della divinità hanno un disegno fortemente lineare. La corona è sormontata da un motivo con cerchio e mezzaluna, che denota l’influenza dell’Asia centrale.
