Recently Taschen published an outstanding book called Murals of Tibet , featuring the work of photographer Thomas Laird.
The book assembles amazing photos of murals preserved in monasteries and temples in Tibet taken by Laird in 10 years.

Thanks to a sophisticated photographic technique, it was possible to capture the complete murals with copious details of these precious and extraordinary masterpieces.
This collection is the world’s first archive of murals of Tibet illustrated in life-size resolution.

We were overwhelmed by the beauty of these amazing Buddhist artworks and wanted to share with you some of the photos that have been released.
