拍品專文

Nagarjuna, one the most important Buddhist philosophers, is considered to be the founder of the Madhyamaka school of Mahāyāna Buddhism. He is often depicted surrounded by snakes, a reference to the story in which the nagas, nature spirits in snake form, offer the One Hundred Thousand Verse Prajnaparamita Sutra, a teaching of Shakyamuni Buddha that had until that moment, never been revealed to the human world. For a comparable work, see a painting of Nagarjuna in the Rubin Museum of Art (P2000.14.3).
