Description


These are two faces of the four-faced tower replica of the one that stands at the entrance to the Khmer temple called the Bayon, in the ancient city of Angkor Thom, in Cambodia. The Bayon was built in the late 12th or early 13th century. I did some postwork on the lighting to illustrate my own vision of the atmosphere wonderfully created at the Guimet museum of Asian arts, in Paris, as the museum exhibits about 60,000 statues and artefacts from over 17 Asian countries. It was such a great moment watching a small samples of the magnificent objects on display there, last month.

Une photo pour illustrer l'ambiance et la magie des arts de l'Asie du musée Guimet à Paris. Une petite merveille de musée si vous ne le connaissez pas !

Thank you very much for your comments on my previous flower picture. Have a nice week!... Please zoom in for greater overall impression!

Pour le musée, je ne peux rien dire car je ne le connais pas. Mais pour la photo, je peux te dire qu'elle est exceptionnelle ! J'adore ce que tu as fait en postwork sur la lumière : ça donne un aspect chaleureux à ta photo. Du très grand art... signé Karma !!! Dommage que les modérateurs photos ne proposent pas un LWITG pendant ces vacances : tu aurais le droit à une nomination certaine ! 5+++++

Effectivement on entend parler du Louvre ou du quai Branly, mais pour les autres... Sont-ce des visages du dieu Brahma? En tout cas, ce doit être un dieu sage; si je me souviens bien, les oreilles allongées ont une signification en ce sens. Une réplique qui donnerait envie de voyager :) Passe une bonne fin de journée!

Non, Caty, c'est le visage d'un roi khmer, Jayavarman VII, qui, après avoir restauré la puissance du royaume d'Angkor contre les Chams, ordonna sa construction au cœur de la cité royale d’Angkor Thom et fit représenter, sur toutes les facettes de chaque tour du bâtiment, son propre visage sous son aspect divin, signifiant ainsi au monde que son regard était pointé sur l’ensemble du royaume et que nul ne pourrait échapper à sa surveillance.

lolll un peu mégalo le roi... comme tous hélas ^^ Merci pour ta réponse; il est vrai qu'on connaît peu l'histoire de cette région du monde, et c'est dommage.

c'est une très belle composition, j'aime les couleurs chaudes et froides de l'autre côté. Excellente pub pour ce musée aussi.

Jean-Luc, I very much enjoyed this fascinating presentation. Your gallery is such a blessing as you share photos of wonderful and mystical places that most of us will never get to visit. Thank you for taking the time to work on the lighting to better illustrate your personal vision of the atmosphere.

Etant allé a Angkor en juillet, c'est le temple le plus spectaculaire du site. Très belle photo

The Southeast Asian milieux were all vastly enriched by Indian culture. This sculpture may well represent some Hindu or Buddhist divinity.

Like all the small details on this sculpture. As well as the stylized nagas. :)
