History: This Digital Wallpaper/Desktop Wallpaper/Desktop Background/Laptop Wallpaper/Mobile Phone Wallpaper/Artifacts Wallpaper/Ancient Sculptures Wallpaper/Historic Sculptures Wallpaper/Buddhism Wallpaper/Buddha Wallpaper/Gandharan Buddha Wallpaper/Buddha fasting Wallpaper, features a photoart presentation of a sculpture of Siddhartha Gautama, better known as the Buddha, fasting for enlightenment. The sculpture was produced in the region of Gandhara during the Kushan period in 2 Ce. Gandharan Sculptors were heavily influenced by Greeko-Roman styles and thus the Buddha sculptures to come out of their studios reflected Greek characteristics. This sculpture in particular is considered to be the best to emerge from the Gandharan School of Art. Informally known as the Shakyamuni, the sculpture depicts an emaciated Siddhartha Gautama fasting for enlightenment - with his ribs, veins and stretched skin visible. To learn more about Gandharan Buddhas, see the Farbound.Net story: The Greek Buddha, on the Farbound.Net website. The sculpture on which this artistic presentation is based is on exhibit at the Lahore Museum in Pakistan.
