Amaravati Stupa
The Amarāvati ''Stupa'', is a ruined Buddhist ''stūpa'' at the village of Amaravathi, Palnadu district, Andhra Pradesh, India, probably built in phases between the third century BCE and about 250 CE. It was enlarged and new sculptures replaced the earlier ones, beginning in about 50 CE. The site is under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India, and includes the ''stūpa'' itself and the Archaeological Museum. The surviving important sculptures from the site are now in a number of museums in India and abroad; many are considerably damaged. The great majority of sculptures are in relief, and the surviving sculptures do not include very large iconic Buddha figures, although it is clear these once existed. The largest collections are the group in the Government Museum, Chennai, that in the Amaravati Archaeological Museum, and the group in the British Museum in London. Others are given below. Art historians regard the art of Amaravati as one of the three major sty ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He served for 25 years in the Imperial East India Forestry Service and other public offices in colonial Burma, today's Myanmar.

Philip Adolphe Klier
Philip Adolphe Klier (c. 1845 in Offenbach am Main, Offenbach, German Confederation – 27 March 1911 in Yangon, Rangoon, British rule in Burma, British Burma), also known as Philip Klier, was a German photographer, who arrived in Burma as a young man around 1865 and spent the rest of his life there. Mainly working as self-trained photographer and businessman, Klier took hundreds of photographs at the end of the 19th century during the British colonial period in Myanmar, Burma. His photographs, taken both in his studio as well as on location, were mainly sold as Postcard, picture postcards for foreign visitors.

Felice Beato
Felice Beato (1832 – 29 January 1909), also known as Felix Beato, was an Italian–British photographer. He was one of the first people to take photographs in East Asia and one of the first war photographers. He is noted for his genre works, portraits, and views and panoramas of the architecture and landscapes of Asia and the Mediterranean region. Beato's travels gave him the opportunity to create images of countries, people, and events that were unfamiliar and remote to most people in Europe and North America. His work provides images of such events like the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the Second Opium War, and represents the first substantial body of photojournalism. He influenced other photographers, and his influence in Japan, where he taught and worked with numerous other photographers and artists, was particularly deep and lasting. Early life and identity A death certificate discovered in 2009 shows that Beato was born in Venice in 1832 and died on 29 January 1909 in Fl ...
