Indian Bronze Art and the Cholas
The beginnings of India's temple, Bronze Age were in the
commissioning of bronze statues by the Rajas of the Chola Empire.
The Cholas came to power in the late 9th century, and until the late 13th
century. They ruled most of South India, Sri Lanka, the Maldive Islands, and
even parts of the Indonesian island of Java from their homeland near Thanjavur,
or Tanjore on the southeastern coast of what is now Tamil Nadu, India.
The Chola rulers are now remembered most for what they created rather than for
what they conquered. Chola rulers were active patrons of the arts. Some of the
best-known artistic remains from this time period are the hand made, lost wax
method bronzes that were commissioned for the vast temples that were constructed
under their reign. Some of the bronzes still remain in the temples they were
commissioned for while others are now on display in the museums of the world as
priceless treasures.
The classic archetypes of dancing Shiva as Nataraja, Parvati and all other Hindu
gods were first created in the Chola times and have been recreated by the temple
artisans of India for centuries. |
