Similarities between Tibetan Buddhist and Eastern Orthodox Art


Great piece here on the similarities between Tibetan Buddhist and Eastern Orthodox Art. Of course there are manby areas where these two religious systems come into contact with one another, so it is not entirely surprising.

Id rather expect them both to be influenced by Indic mandala painting. Certainly Indians (or Indo-Iranians) were in contact with the eastern edge of the Roman (i.e. Orthodox) world. Of course later Russian Orthodox stuff could be directly influenced by vajrayana, through the mongols in Asia...
