Description
Statue Khmer culture, Cambodia, 12th century.
Sandstone.
Measurements: 73 x 40 x 17 cm. sculpture; 84 cm. high with base.
Round sculpture in sandstone representing the body of a man with a naked torso. The stylistic characteristics of the treatment of the material reveal that this sculpture belongs to the Khleang style developed in the Angkor period (AD 800-1200). It may represent a deity, materialised in human form. The Khleang are two buildings of unknown purpose on the east side of the Royal Plaza at Angkor and have given their name to the Khleang style, which is characterised by relatively simple lintels with a central kala and in the case of the sculpture is characterised by the depiction of a modelled anatomy of an idealised character character characterised by stylisation.
Khmer is one of the most important cultures developed in Indochina. The first inscriptions in their language appear in the early 7th century in the Indian kingdom of Tshenla, located in the middle reaches of the Mekong River. The Khmers reorganised politically and in the 9th century achieved the unity of present-day Cambodia under the reign of Jayavarman II (802-850), founder of the kingdom of Angkor. Jayavarman II had spent his youth at the refined court of the Javanese Sailendra and brought to his country a strong influence of Javanese culture and Javanese court etiquette. Khmer art reached its height of splendour during the Angkor period between the 9th and 13th centuries in a wide range of fields, including textiles, lacquerware, ceramics, goldsmithing, and so on. Khmer sculpture began to break away from Indian influence from the 7th century onwards and, after a long process of stylistic evolution, developed its own original language, which was consolidated in the 10th century. It was mainly carved in stone and with religious themes, although on many occasions the sacred theme became a mere excuse for depicting court scenes, even if they featured gods. Hence the greater degree of realism compared to Indian art, as the artists took royal courtiers as their models. The result is admirable images of gods of imposing presence, endowed with a certain feminine sensuality and sophisticated beauty.
