A RARE UDAYANA-STYLE GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF GAUTAMA BUDDHA, QING DYNASTY, 18TH CENTURYFinely cast standing with the right and left hands held in abhaya and varada mudra respectively, the body enveloped in a long robe with elongated sleeve openings and cascading in pronounced folds and undulations, the garment loosely clinging to the gently rounded outlines of his stomach and legs and ending in a flaring hem above the bare feet.The bare copper face of the deity portrayed with a serene and meditative countenance framed by a pair of long pendulous earlobes suspending large earrings and the hair neatly swept away from the face and piled to the top in a tall chignon, fronted by a foliate tiara.The base is originally sealed with a copper plate, neatly incised with a double-vajra. The backside also bears an original sealing plate.Provenance: An old private collection in Italy, thence by descent. The base with remnants of an old ink inscription. Condition: Superb condition with only minor wear and casting irregularities. Surface wear, scattered nicks and scratches, little rubbing to gilding, and small dings to the base.Weight: 1,577 g Dimensions: Height 22.8 cmThis sculpture of the Buddha represents him in a form believed to be based on a sandalwood sculpture commissioned by King Udayana in India during the lifetime of the historical Buddha (c. 400s BC). The image depicts the Buddha when he descended from the Realm of the Thirty-three Gods, after teaching his mother there, to continue his teaching in the human realm. This type of standing Buddha image was very popular in Central Asia and China and subsequently in Tibet. A painting of the Sandalwood Buddha, previously in the Zhantansi, known to us by a picture, and having survived the destruction of the monastery, was preserved in the Imperial Palace up to the 1930s, see Isabelle Charleux, From North India to Buryatia, Xie Jisheng, Luo Wenhua, and Shi Yangang. Studies on Sino-Tibetan Buddhist Art: Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Tibetan Archaeology and Art, Shanghai Classics Publishing House, 2014, p. 15, fig. 7.The Udayana Buddha was popular during the Qianlong period, alongside other sculptures that paid homage to eastern Indian Pala prototypes and to important Kashmiri bronzes preserved in the imperial palace collections. The style of the present figure—characterized by the Buddha's outer garment covering both shoulders and falling in stylized undulations, and by hair drawn tightly to the head—derives from the Buddhist sculpture of ancient Gandhara and early Central Asian cultures, where Buddha images absorbed classical Graeco-Roman influences in hairstyle and the treatment of flowing robes.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related larger gilt-bronze figure of Buddha Dipankara, dated to the 18th century, 38.1 cm high, in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, accession number 1961-177-4a,b.
