Author Description

The antique scroll-art masterpieces seen in Wisdom’s Tibetan Art Calendar 2014 are called thangkas. While thangkas are common in Tibetan Buddhism, the finest examples are highly sought after by private collectors. 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 are drawn from private collections and present a variety of classical mandalas, deities, and stories. 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.
