A THANGKA OF SHAKYAMUNI DESCENDING FROM THE HEAVEN OF THE 33 GODS
This lot is a museum deaccession and is therefore offered without reserve

Tibet, late 19th – early 20th century. Gilt and distemper on canvas, within a silk brocade mounting. Depicting Buddha's descent from the Heaven of the Thirty-Three Gods, accompanied by worshippers and divine beings. A celestial ladder stretches down from the heavens to the city of Samkashya. The Buddha is shown descending gracefully, flanked by attendants on his right and left, one holding a fan and the other a parasol.

Provenance: The Kienzle Family Collection, Stuttgart, Germany. Acquired between 1950 and 1985 by siblings Else (1912-2006), Reinhold (1917-2008), and Dr. Horst Kienzle (1924-2019), during their extensive travels in Asia. Subsequently inherited by Dr. Horst Kienzle and bequeathed to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, Germany. Released through museum deaccession in 2024. The Kienzle siblings were avid travelers and passionate collectors of Asian and Islamic art. During their travels, the Kienzle’s sought out and explored temples, monasteries, and markets, always trying to find the best pieces wherever they went, investing large sums of money and forging lasting relationships to ensure they could acquire them. Their fervor and success in this pursuit is not only demonstrated by their collection but further recorded in correspondences between Horst Kienzle and several noted dignitaries, businesses and individuals in Nepal and Ladakh. Their collection had gained renown by the 1970s, but the Kienzle’s stopped acquiring new pieces around 1985. Almost thirty years later, the collection was moved to the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Radevormwald, opened by Peter Hardt in 2014. Before his death in 2019, Horst Kienzle bequeathed his entire property to Peter Hardt and legally adopted him as his son, who has been using the name Peter Kienzle-Hardt ever since.
Condition: Shows creases, folds, abrasions, pigment losses, tiny losses, and soiling. The mounting with slight traces of use and wear.

Dimensions: Image size 63 x 39 cm, size incl. mounting 116 x 66 cm

After spending three months teaching the Dharma to his mother and a host of gods in Indra’s Trayastrimsha Heaven, the Heaven of the Thirty-Three, Shakyamuni Buddha descended to earth on a lapis lazuli ladder, arriving in the city of Samkashya. All buddhas of the past have descended into Samkashya from the heavens, and every buddha to come will do the same, as one of the essential acts of a fully enlightened Buddha.
