Subject:Figure de Bouddha Guanying aus épaules tombantes ?
Posted By: Jean-Frédéric BAETA Mon, Nov 01, 2021 IP: 2a01:cb00:8bc6:3900:
Bonjour à tous,
Cette statue de Bouddha aux épaules tombantes m'interroge. D'où vient elle ? Sans doute chinoise, elle présente les traits plutôt féminins de Guanyin
La statue est creuse et sonne un peu comme une céramique. Pourtant la matière semble "tendre"
Merci pour tous vos avis

This image of the Buddha strikes me as quite possibly a European Chinoiserie creation, starting with the fact that it exposed body surface is painted, as evidenced by the slight overlap of paint over the outer edge of its curly coiffure. Whether it bears any relationship to Guanyin, who is a manifestation of the Mortal Buddha Avaloketshvara, is arguable in the absence of further iconographic evidence of that particular deity's attributes. Like much other Buddhistic Chinoiserie, this image likely was produced for the decorative market in the West during the first half of the 20th century. Other opinions welcome.

Best regards,

Bill H.

[Cette image du Bouddha me semble très probablement une création de Chinoiserie européenne, à commencer par le fait que la surface du corps exposée est peinte, comme en témoigne le léger chevauchement de la peinture sur le bord extérieur de sa coiffure frisée. Qu'il ait une relation avec Guanyin, qui est une manifestation du Bouddha mortel Avaloketshvara, est discutable en l'absence de preuves iconographiques supplémentaires des attributs de cette divinité particulière. Comme beaucoup d'autres chinoiseries bouddhistes, cette image a probablement été produite pour le marché de la décoration en Occident au cours de la première moitié du 20e siècle. D'autres avis sont les bienvenus.

Meilleures salutations,

Bill H.]

Merci Bill pour votre commentaire très intéressant.
Les matériaux utilisés me laissent perplexe. Sonorité évoquant la céramique mais surface qui semble plus tendre
Pour Guanying le profil du visage avec des traits fins et discrets me semblait très atypique des Bouddha habituels et en fait assez proche de certains blancs de chine de Gunying
Bonne journée
