About the Artwork

Leo Gestel's Buddha on the Borobudur is a striking and evocative painting that captures the serenity and tranquility of the Buddha. The painting depicts the Buddha seated in meditation on the Borobudur, a massive Buddhist temple complex in Indonesia. The Buddha's figure is silhouetted against the bright blue sky, creating a sense of contrast and dynamism.

Gestel's use of brushstrokes is bold and expressive, creating a sense of movement and energy in the painting. The Buddha's figure is rendered in a simplified, almost abstract style, which emphasizes his spiritual nature. The painting is also notable for its use of color. Gestel uses a palette of muted, earthy tones, which creates a sense of warmth and intimacy.

Buddha on the Borobudur is a powerful and moving painting that conveys the Buddha's message of peace and compassion. It is a testament to Gestel's skill as an artist that he was able to create a work of art that is both visually appealing and spiritually uplifting.

The painting is also significant for its historical context. It was created in the early 20th century, during a time when European artists were becoming increasingly fascinated with Eastern religions and philosophies. Gestel's painting was one of the first Western depictions of the Borobudur, and it helped to introduce the temple complex to a wider audience.

Today, Buddha on the Borobudur is considered to be one of the most important examples of Dutch Expressionism. It is a beloved work of art that continues to inspire and uplift viewers around the world.
