Beschreibung:
Lori Wong is a wall painting conservator and project specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute. Neville Agnew, former senior principal project specialist at the Getty Conservation Institute, is coauthor of Cave Temples of Mogao: Art and History on the Silk Road (Getty Publications, 2001) and editor of Conservation of Ancient Sites on the Silk Road (Getty Publications, 2010).
Mogao flourished over the following millennium, as monks, local rulers, and travelers commissioned hundreds of cave temples cut into a mile-long rock cliff and adorned them with vibrant murals. More than 490 decorated grottoes remain, containing thousands of sculptures and some 45,000 square meters of wall paintings, making Mogao one of the world's most significant sites of Buddhist art.
