The Buddhist monument of Borobudur was built in the eighth and
ninth centuries on the island of Java. It is one of the most famous
and studied religious buildings in the world, but it is also one of
the most enigmatic. Since it was rediscovered by the West at the
start of the nineteenth century, its ruins – swallowed up by the
tropical jungle, suggestive of an ancient civilisation with a
glorious past – have constantly been a source of fascination. Its
unusual structure in the form of a tiered pyramid, its huge size,
and the delicacy of its low reliefs, which include some 1,300
carved narrative panels, have ensured that Borobudur has taken its
rightful place among the masterpieces of the world’s
architectural heritage. However, given the absence of reliable
historical documentation, a wide variety of hypotheses have been
advanced to shed light on the secrets of its form, iconographic
repertoire, and symbolism. Text in French.
