About the Item

Thangkas are devotional paintings displayed by Buddhists in monasteries, temples, and even in their homes. The rich red, orange, green, and blue hues are still incredibly vibrant on this sacred 19th-century Tibetan thangka. At the painting's center is Chenresi, the Buddha of Infinite Compassion and the embodiment of mercy. Depicted here in a traditional position, Chenresi is recognizable by his four arms, seated in Vajrasana posture on a lotus throne. On his head is a five-pointed crown, symbolizing the Five Wisdoms of Enlightenment. His forward facing hands hold the wish-fulfilling jewel Cintamani, a symbol for his all-encompassing compassion. This thangka's silk brocade backing was added in the early 20th century and has since been carefully mounted on linen.

Chinese Mythical Immortal Screen Painting, c. 1850

Located in Chicago, IL

Since the 12th century, people in China have used folding screens and doors to partition and decorate their homes - the vivid scenes backing the screens added life and color to a room.

The figure depicted is one of the mythical Eight Immortals of Taoism. Said to have attained immortality through their studies of the natural world, each of the Eight Immortals represents a different condition in life and together they impart a blessing of prosperity and longevity. Depicted here is immortal Lan Caihe, the patron saint of florists and gardeners. Standing atop a lotus leaf in open water, they hold a gardening hoe in one hand and a basket for flowers...
