Ling Gesar - Artworks Chronology

The various works of art depicting Ling Gesar, and associated topics, can be divided into two mediums (painting and sculpture) and four general subjects solely based on the works that have been identified in museum and private collections thus far.


The Four Gesar Art Subjects:

[1] Gesar Life Story - Painting Set

[2] Gesar & the Thirty Warriors - Painting Set

[3] Gesar Norbu Dradul (painting or sculpture)

[4] Gesar Dorje Tsegyal (painting or sculpture)


The works documented are primarily from the time period prior to 1960. In the future, there will of course be many more paintings, sculpture and murals identified as the field of Himalayan and Tibetan art develops with time, interest and resources.
