A 13th-century Nepalese gilt bronze of Padmapani or The Luminous Lord of Infinite Compassion is just one of the stunning works on display in this exhibition, which showcases some of the artworks that have been added to the Gallery’s world-class Asian collection in the last five years.
Alongside this elegant figure are works in many different media, including miniature paintings from India, Japanese folding screens, Chinese ceramics and calligraphy, and textiles from across Asia.
Covering many centuries, the wide selection of art on show represents high points in artistic expression across countries and cultures as diverse and distant as Tibet and Indonesia.
