Poster-sized reproductions of classical paintings produced to the highest standards. An annual favorite
The antique scroll-art masterpieces seen in Wisdom's Tibetan Art Calendar 2009
are called thangkas (pronounced "tongkah"). While the thangka is common to
Tibetan Buddhists, its finest examples are highly sought-after in the international
art community and have become hot properties in the same vein as
Oriental rugs and ceramics. As a result, the best of these works are seldom, if
ever, available for public viewing.
This is why Wisdom's Tibetan Art Calendar is so special. It's an affordable
way to enjoy incredibly rare and meaningful works of sacred art, year-round.
These thirteen sacred paintings by Tibet's master painters represent a
variety of classical images, mandalas, deities, and icons. Each poster-sized
picture is produced to the highest German printing standards, and is
suitable for framing. Complete with in-depth explanations of their cultural
and philosophical significance, these exquisite fine art reproductions will be
treasured for years to come.
