Gran parte dell'umanità si è a lungo preoccupata di questioni fondamentali riguardanti la vita e la morte e l'esistenza di forze soprannaturali che le controllano. Molte religioni del mondo presentano una visione binaria dell'aldilà, in cui il paradiso (o i paradisi) sono contrapposti all'inferno (o agli inferni). Le descrizioni cristiane del paradiso e del mondo dei dannati hanno ispirato per migliaia di anni gli artisti a creare immagini eloquenti, rappresentazioni con finalità didattiche, ma che dire degli artisti provenienti da ambiti eurasiatici non cristiani? Nel XXI secolo, i titoli dei giornali internazionali e la cultura popolare hanno aperto gli occhi sulle immagini del paradiso proposte da religioni non cristiane come l'Islam e il Buddismo. Tuttavia, un numero minore di persone è a conoscenza delle nozioni di inferno e delle relative rappresentazioni che si sono sviluppate in Asia. Prefazioni di Kevin Rudd e Michelle Yun Mapplethorpe.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Hell has been embodied and portrayed in terrifying, bizarre, and occasionally humorous incarnations across religions and cultures for millennia. Whether considered as places of eternal or finite punishment, underworlds provide a rich setting for a potent cast of characters that have caught the imaginations of artists and patrons who have shaped the visual cultures of Asia's systems of belief, particularly Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Islam. Through masterpieces from West Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the diaspora, paired with essays from renowned scholars, this publication explores both differences and similarities in conceptions of the afterlife and artistic practices from religion to religion and culture to culture. This journey through judgment, punishment, and even the pro-mise of salvation sheds light on the fundamental questions of life, death, and existence. Codice articolo LU-9788833671055
