Led by Julie Chun (Adjunct Professor of Art History), we will study how sculpture in China historically served as funerary objects and then later as religious markers for reliquaries, steles, and stone monuments. By the end of this museum lecture, we will recognize not only how statues evolved to gain religious prominence in China but understand the key traits defining Buddhist iconography.
