树与蛇 "以佛教艺术中的两个主要图案--神圣的菩提树和保护神蛇命名： 《树与蛇：印度早期佛教艺术》是第一本介绍公元前 200 年至公元前 400 年德干地区虔诚作品的出版物。传统的叙述主要集中在印度北部（佛陀出生、传教和圆寂之地），而这本开创性的著作则介绍了南部寺院遗址中的佛教艺术。这些艺术品长期被忽视，是现存最早的佛教艺术品之一，也是最精美的艺术品之一。一个国际研究团队为与佛教相关的雕塑和宗教艺术提供了新的研究成果，最近发掘的佛教遗址中的杰作也首次在此出版--其中包括一代人中最重要的新发现--卡纳加纳哈里和帕尼吉里。通过探讨佛教在南印度的兴起，以及印度与希腊化世界和罗马世界在商业和文化方面的深入交往，这部权威性的研究报告拓展了我们对佛教艺术起源的理解。

 

Named for two primary motifs in Buddhist art, the sacred bodhi tree and the protective snake, Tree & Serpent: Early Buddhist Art in India is the first publication to foreground devotional works produced in the Deccan from 200 BCE to 400 CE. Unlike traditional narratives, which focus on northern India (where the Buddha was born, taught, and died), this groundbreaking book presents Buddhist art from monastic sites in the south. Long neglected, this is among the earliest corpus of Buddhist art surviving, and among the most sublimely beautiful. An international team of researchers contributes new scholarship on the sculptural and devotional art associated with Buddhism, and masterpieces from recently excavated Buddhist sites are published here for the first time—including Kanaganahalli and Phanigiri, the most important new discoveries in a generation. With its exploration of Buddhism’s emergence in southern India, as well as of India’s deep commercial and cultural engagement with the Hellenized and Roman worlds, the definitive study expands our understanding of the origins of Buddhist art itself.
