Description
This Buddhist painting of three bodhisattvas enshrined at Bulguksa Temple contains a postscript showing that it was painted in 1739 by a group of monk-artists including Milgi, Chaewon and Seojing. The painting was done at Ojuam, a hermitage affiliated with Geodongsa Temple in Gyeongju, after which it was enshrined at Buryeongsa Temple. The artists used vivid white to highlight the figures around the triad, thereby producing an impressive three-dimensional effect. The record of the background to the painting and the careful layout and elaborate depiction of the figures make it a representative Buddhist painting of the early eighteenth century, and provide valuable information for the study of Buddhist paintings in this period.
