Description: Reflections of the Divine features the collection of Ulrich Wörz, which is comprised of twenty-two Tibetan paintings that were made from the middle of the thirteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century. Coming from the regions of Tibet, Mongolia, and China, and executed in various painting styles, they depict peaceful deities, wrathful guardians, and religious and secular leaders associated with the Buddhist and Bön religions.  The iconography of all images is discussed in detail and its political and religious peculiarities are highlighted. The style of each painting is also described, emphasising the unique traits of each piece. Beautifully illustrated with 144 full-colour plates.
