Thönmi Sambhota Thangka
Image © 2016 Tashi Mannox
This traditional thangka painting of the rarely depicted great calligrapher and scholar Thönmi Sambhota was especially commissioned by Tashi Mannox from Sahil Bhopal of Flying Whale Art studio, India. Tibetan thangka painting is one of the great arts of Asia and is a particular stylistic development of painting in natural mineral media, normally on cloth which is mounted in a brocade frame, designed to roll up as a portable scroll.
Thangkas are typically rich in the iconography of their religious content that communicates the highest Buddhist ideals, often as a visual aid to be meditated upon or to depict historical figures and spiritual events. For a Tibetan Buddhist, thangkas are considered inspirational sacred paintings in their physical support to a practitioner as an embodiment of enlightenment.
From the point of view of reproduction, thangkas are frequently difficult to photograph due to the extensive use of gold leaf and gold paint in the decorative embellishments. We have extensive experience in coaxing the best out of these and similarly challenging subjects.
