O soše
Amitabha, the Buddha associated with limitless light, appears in this mid-eleventh-century statue in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Its period saw Buddhist art flourish within the Liao Empire, whose Khitan rulers supported large religious projects after the Tang persecution of 845. Liao objects maintained close connections to Tang traditions. Artisans displaced or enslaved after the Khitan conquest of northern China probably made works in those inherited styles. The sculpture is on view in gallery 241C, devoted to Chinese Buddhist sculpture.
Slovy muzea
This delicately crafted statue of Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, bears testimony to the flowering of Buddhist art under the Liao Empire established by the Khitans, a nomadic Mongolian people, after the Tang persecution of Buddhists in 845.
The Liao rulers were devout Buddhists who commissioned substantial religious projects. Liao Buddhist artifacts reflecting close ties to the Tang traditions were likely executed by displaced or enslaved artisans as a result of the Khitan conquest of northern China.
