'Year 5' Buddha: Exploring Its Place in Time, Space, and Practice

Annual Distinguished Lecture on the Arts of South and Southeast Asia-Buddhist Art of Gandhara and the 'Year 5' Buddha: Exploring Its Place in Time, Space, and Practice
Juhyung Rhi, Professor of Archaeology and Art History, Seoul National University
The 'Year 5' Buddha is one of only five dated Gandharan sculptures known to exist. It is a masterpiece of singular importance for both its dated dedicatory inscription and innovative iconographic features. This talk explores the diverse questions raised by this image within the unfolding setting of Buddhist art in Gandhara in the early centuries of the Common Era.
It is presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of India, New York, and the Indo-American Arts Council to mark the 75th Anniversary of Indian Independence.
The lecture series is made possible by the generous support of Jeff Soref and Paul Lombardi.

Thank you for such an informative AND interesting lecture!! I know much less about this area and subject than I'd like, so this talk was particularly meaningful.
