BID HISTORY

DESCRIPTION

Set of 7 books on oriental cultures, especially China:
"Yi King. The book of mutations" (I Ching).
"Mysteries of ancient China", two volumes.
"China", collection "Great Civilizations".
"La peinture chinoise" by James Cahill.
"Three Empires of Islam: Istanbul, Isfahan, Delhi".
"Celestial Gallery" by Romio Shrestha and Ian A. Baker.

"Heavenly Gallery" is an art book by Romio Shrestha and Ian A. Baker featuring Tibetan-style mandalas and Buddha paintings. The volume provides us with the reproduction of intricate Tibetan-style illustrated mandalas from a unique collection of extraordinary paintings. Using powerful detail and vibrant colors, master painter Romio Shrestha and his team of artisan monks illustrate contemporary Nepalese versions of deities such as White Tara, the Medicine Buddha, the Dakini mandala, and other examples of traditional Buddhist iconography. The Buddha's message, beautifully reflected in Shrestha's visionary thangka paintings, speaks to the universal desire for a feeling of love, compassion and connection with the world around us.

"Three Empires of Islam" focuses on masterpieces from the Louvre collection and manuscripts of the three Islamic empires.

Also known as I Ching or Yijing, "The Book of Mutations" is an ancient classical Chinese text that is considered the oldest of Chinese texts. It is an oracular and philosophical book that has influenced the main currents of Chinese thought, such as Taoism and Confucianism.
