수호당서씨공양아미타9존도계(壽壺堂徐氏供養阿彌陀九尊圖系) 1357년작 본국사장(本國寺藏) 수륙재(水陸齋)용 불독존도(佛獨尊圖)의 의의

Abstract

Amita9zondo, dedicated by Suhodang Seo, has a Hyeopsi Bodhisattva in each screen of Amitabha‐Kannon‐Sejibosan, and Hyeopsis are consistently smaller than the main Buddha. This type of composition is now somewhat remained. The significance of this Buddhist painting in Goryeo Buddhist painting history cannot be overemphasized. First, since Buddhist paintings of the latter half of the 14th century (1350‐1391) cannot be known at present, this Buddhist painting with a definite compositional date of 1357 is of great significance in the study of Buddhist paintings of Goryeo in the latter half of the 14th century. Second, the painting record shows that this Buddhist painting was created as "Suryukseongsang", and it is a Suryukjae Buddhist painting created for use with Suryukjae. Suryukjae Buddhist painting and Buddhist banner painting in Joseon still remain, but the specific Buddhist painting and Buddhist statue used in Suryukjae in Goryeo are not known at all. As this Buddhist painting can be called "Goryeo Suryukjae Buddhist painting," it is meaningful in that it is the only Suryukjae Buddhist painting at the time of Goryeo that we get an access to know of. Third, the Goryo Buddhist painting style from the end of the 13th century to the first half of the 14t century shows graceful, gorgeous, sophisticated and richly stylistic features, but in the mid to late 14th century (around 1350 to 1391) it shows a more graceful and neat feature. It is well described in Mireukhasaenggyeongbyeonsangdo in 1350, and Buddhist painting, expressed more simply and rigorously could be the Buldokjondo in 1357. Therefore, it is meaningful in that it shows the new style of the latter half of the 14th century.
