Amaravati Art and Buddhism in Ancient India The book "Amaravati Art and Buddhism in Ancient India" is a comprehensive study of the intersection of art and Buddhism in ancient India, providing a unique perspective on the development of these two fields and their impact on each other. The author, Dr. S. R. Bhattacharya, is a renowned scholar of Indian history and culture, and his expertise shines through in this well-researched and engagingly written volume. The book begins with an introduction to the history of Amaravati, a fabled city that was once home to some of the most exquisite examples of Buddhist art and architecture in ancient India. The author takes the reader on a journey through time, exploring the evolution of Buddhist thought and its influence on the arts, from the early days of the Buddha's teachings to the rise of the Gupta Empire. Along the way, he highlights the key figures and events that shaped the course of Buddhist art and philosophy, including the lives and teachings of important Buddhist leaders like Ashoka and Nagarjuna. One of the most compelling aspects of the book is its focus on the role of technology in the development of Buddhist art and architecture.
Искусство и буддизм Амаравати в Древней Индии Книга «Искусство и буддизм Амаравати в Древней Индии» представляет собой комплексное исследование пересечения искусства и буддизма в Древней Индии, предоставляя уникальный взгляд на развитие этих двух областей и их влияние друг на друга. Автор, доктор С. Р. Бхаттачарья, является известным исследователем индийской истории и культуры, и его опыт пронизывает в этом хорошо исследованном и увлекательно написанном томе. Книга начинается с введения в историю Амаравати, сказочного города, в котором когда-то были одни из самых изысканных образцов буддийского искусства и архитектуры в древней Индии. Автор берёт читателя в путешествие во времени, исследуя эволюцию буддийской мысли и её влияние на искусство, начиная с ранних дней учения Будды и заканчивая возвышением Империи Гуптов. Попутно он выделяет ключевые фигуры и события, которые сформировали ход буддийского искусства и философии, в том числе жизни и учения важных буддийских лидеров, таких как Ашока и Нагарджуна. Одним из наиболее убедительных аспектов книги является её направленность на роль технологий в развитии буддийского искусства и архитектуры.
