A THANGKA OF MAITREYA TIBET, LATE 18TH CENTURY Distemper and gold on cloth; recto inscribed in Tibetan in gold ink identifying the lineage figures in the upper registers. Himalayan Art Resources item no. 1861 Image: 25 x 16 1/2 in. (63.5 x 41.3 cm) With silks: 46 1/2 x 26 1/2 in. (118 x 65 cm) Footnotes: 西藏 十八世紀晚期 彌勒唐卡 Provenance Sotheby's, New York, 22 September 2000, lot 36 The Richard C. Blum and Senator Dianne Feinstein Collection Residing in a dense forest blanketed by clouds is Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future, who is identified by the kundika he holds in his left hand. According to Buddhist legend, Maitreya is prophesized to usher in a new era of enlightenment in his earthly realm of Ketumati, following a period of moral decline known as the Latter Day of the Law. As a large congregation of worshippers begins to gather at his feet, Maitreya places his hand over the head of the monk closest to him. He likely represents a monk from the Gelug order, as indicated by the presence of the Gelug's founder, Tsongkhapa (1357-1419), a Panchen Lama, and several other yellow hat-wearing monks. Stylistically, the overgrown landscape, the elaborate throne, and the layered treatment of the clouds which form into a mountain peak seems to borrow from Tsangri styles of West-Central Tibet, where these features are perhaps best known in paintings from Tashi Lhunpo monastery. A portrait of the Fifth Dalai Lama in the Potala Palace shares its rich coloring and layered clouds as the present work (HAR 9165). Two other Maitreya thangkas with similar compositions but with a muted palette include one in the Field Museum of Natural History (HAR 54475) and another sold in Bonhams, New York, 13 March 2017, lot 3045.
