How is the colossal Seated Buddha from Sanxi, China, different from earlier Buddhist sculpture from India, such as Buddha and Attendants?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Like early Chinese Buddhist sculpture, Seated Buddha is remote and austere, making it seem less human.
2. The image of Buddha became increasingly formal and unearthly as it traveled east from India, and the Seated Buddha is likewise more simplistic and stylized.
3. Buddhist sculpture from India conveys more sensuous qualities through voluptuous forms and a prevalence of naturalistic detail.
4. For example, in Buddha and Attendants, Buddha is depicted wearing a thin robe pulled over the body that emphasizes his fleshy form and makes him appear almost nude.
