As different traditions of Buddhism spread across Asia between the 17th and 19th centuries, art of Buddhist luminaries played a pivotal role.

The Fralin Museum of Art’s exhibition “Earthly Exemplars: The Art of Buddhist Disciples and Teachers in Asia” highlights images that facilitated this faith’s transmission from one teacher to the next.

The works on view were made in Tibet, China, and Japan and are drawn primarily from the Fralin’s permanent collection.
