Vittore Carpaccio
According to Gonkar Gyatso, a Tibetan artist from Lhasa now in the UK, Amdo Jampa is the most important Tibetan modern artist. He was trained in the 1950s at thangka painting and he was the only one to perform original works different from traditional painting and had the support of the 14th Dalai Lama for his creative work. His paintings were partly influenced by painters such as Vittore Carpaccio.
