Mahamayuri Vidyaraja, Unrecorded Chinese makers
Mahamayuri Vidyaraja, Liao dynasty (916–1125), 11th century

Unrecorded Chinese makers

1 work

Not every painter’s name has come down to us. The Art Institute of Chicago records the maker of its Mahamayuri Vidyaraja as unknown and dates the painting to the 11th century, under the Liao dynasty (916 to 1125), founded by semi-nomadic conquerors of north China. This group gathers such unnamed makers; it is not one artist.
