Standing Buddha Stone sculpture. Mathurā, India, ca. 2nd century CE.
Following the Greco-Roman breakthrough in
Gāndhāra, the older Indian Mathurā school of sculpture, centred on the banks
of the Yamunā River at Mathurā, also succumbed to the overwhelming urge to
fashion the corporal image of Gautama as the "embodiment of nirvāna." |
