敦煌早期石窟中的彩塑受到犍陀罗艺术的影响较多,如交脚菩萨、思维菩萨的造型等。这样的菩萨形象不仅在敦煌,云冈石窟等地的雕塑中也可看到。敦煌壁画故事画和云冈石窟故事浮雕的形式以及部分佛龛形式也体现出犍陀罗的特征,反映出犍陀罗对北凉北魏时期佛教艺术的强烈影响。但同时,一些佛像的造型有秣菟罗(Mathura)艺术的风格特征,说明早期佛教艺术中并存着犍陀罗风格与秣菟罗风格的影响。 The early sculptures in Dunhuang were more influenced by the art of Gandhara, such as the bodhisattvas and the bodhisattvas. Such a Buddha image can be seen not only in the sculptures of Dunhuang and Yungang Grottoes. Dunhuang mural story painting and Yungang Grottoes in the form of relief as well as some parts of the Buddhist shrine niche also reflects the characteristics of Gandhara, reflecting the Gandhara on the Northern Liang and Northern Dynasties, the strong influence of Buddhist art. But at the same time, some Buddhist statues have the stylistic features of Mathura art, which shows the influence of Gandhara style and Miluo style in early Buddhist art.
