This statue’s artist, however, made genuine efforts to represent the divine’s beautiful voluminous body. Inspired by Indian Gupta–period art (AD 300s–500s), this particular artistic style emphasizing soft modeling and naturalism was further developed in China and flourished across East Asia. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS Kang, U-bang.
