Buddhist art originated in the Indian subcontinent following the historical life of Gautam Buddha. Buddhist schools of art were religious in form. They were Indian in character but one can see signs of foreign influence too.

Buddhist schools of art include: the Mauryan School of Art, the Sunga School of Art, the Mathura or kushana School of Art and the Gandhara School of art.

Buddhist art achieved its glory during the Mauryan period, especially during the reign of King Ashoka who said to have erected 84,000 stupas relating to the life of Buddha. The Mauryans were famous for their artistic shaped pillars, railings, capitals, animal as well as human forms.

The huge monolithic pillars of Ashoka are the outstanding specimens of the Mauryan art. They are found throughout the empire of Ashoka.

Each pillar has three parts – the prop, the shaft and the capital. The prop is the base, buried in the ground. The shaft or the main body is made of one piece of stone which is chiselled and polished. The capital, the head of the pillar, has animal figures. （181字）

       佛教艺术起源于印度次大陆，主要涉及了乔达摩佛的生平事迹。佛教艺术流派以宗教的形式存在，这些流派拥有印度特有的风格，但我们也依然可以看得到它们受外来文化影响的痕迹。
       佛教艺术流派包括孔雀王朝艺术流派，巽加王朝艺术流派，马土腊/贵霜王朝艺术流派以及犍陀罗艺术流派。
       孔雀王朝，尤其是阿育王统治时期，是佛教艺术的辉煌时期。据说阿育王建立了八万四千座与佛陀生平有关的佛塔。孔雀王朝以其极具艺术美感造型的柱子、栏杆、柱头、动物和人的形貌而负有盛名。
那些巨大而气势宏伟的阿育王柱是孔雀王朝艺术的杰出样本，它们遍布整个阿育王帝国。
       每一根柱子都有三个部分：柱础，柱身和柱头。柱础是基底，它会被埋在地下。柱身或主体由一块经过凿刻抛光的石头制作而成。柱头，也就是柱子的顶端，拥有多种动物造型。
