Rienjang, Wannaporn. The Global Connections of Gandhāran Art : Proceedings of the Third International Workshop of the Gandhāra Connections Project, University of Oxford, 18th-19th March 2019. Global Connections of Gandhāran Art 1st ed. Oxford : Archaeopress, 2020. ©2020. 1 online resource (276 p.) ill text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Gandhran art is often regarded as the epitome of cultural exchange in antiquity. The ancient region of Gandhra, centred on what is now the northern tip of Pakistan, has been called the 'crossroads of Asia'. The Buddhist art produced in and around this area in the first few centuries AD exhibits extraordinary connections with other traditions across Asia and as far as the Mediterranean. Since the nineteenth century, the Graeco-Roman associations of Gandhran art have attracted particular attention. Classically educated soldiers and administrators of that era were astonished by the uncanny resemblance of many works of Gandhran sculpture to Greek and Roman art made thousands of miles to the west. More than a century later we can recognize that the Gandhran artists' appropriation of classical iconography and styles was diverse and extensive, but the explanation of this 'influence' remains puzzling and elusive. The Gandhra Connections project at the University of Oxford's Classical Art Research Centre was initiated principally to cast new light on this old problem.This volume is the third set of proceedings of the project's annual workshop, and the first to address directly the question of cross-cultural influence on and by Gandhran art. The contributors wrestle with old controversies, particularly the notion that Gandhran art is a legacy of Hellenistic Greek rule in Central Asia and the growing consensus around the important role of the Roman Empire in shaping it. But they also seek to present a more complex and expansive view of the networks in which Gandhra was embedded. Adopting a global perspective on the subject, they examine aspects of Gandhra's connections both within and beyond South Asia and Central Asia, including the profound influence which Gandhran art itself had on the development of Buddhist art in China and India.
