Gandharan Sculpture by Wicks is a scholarly examination of the art of the Gandhara region, where Greco-Roman and Indian artistic traditions merged between the 1st century BCE and the 5th century CE. Wicks explores how this fusion produced distinctive Buddhist sculptures characterized by Hellenistic realism?such as wavy hair, draped robes, and naturalistic anatomy?while conveying traditional Indian religious themes. The book contextualizes the art within its historical, cultural, and religious setting, highlighting Gandhara's role as a crossroads of civilizations along the Silk Road.
