Délkelet-ázsiai buddhista művészet
[Buddhist Art in Southeast Asia]
Délkelet-ázsiai buddhista művészet [“Buddhist Art in Southeast Asia”]
The last volume of the series gives an insight into the Buddhist art of Burma, Thailand, Laos and Cambodia – arts that are interrelated, yet, at the same time, very distinct. Thus it offers a description of the art of the Southern or Theravada school of Buddhism. The material (falling in line with the Hinayana tradition) is amended with an introduction into the Mahayana Buddhist art of Vietnam. This is the first time the Museum has attempted to give a comprehensive description of Southeast Asian Buddhist art within the series “The Art of Buddhism”.
The Southeast Asian Buddhist material of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts consists of approximately 300 artefacts. The core of the collection is made up by the items purchased by Ferenc Hopp and János Xántus at the end of the 19th century. Later, the collection was enriched with material from famous private collectors.
