조선 중후기 왕실 도화서 화원들의 불화 제작과 그 영향

Abstract

During the early Joseon Dynasty, there were many Buddhist temples sponsored by the royal family and participated by hwawons(the Court Painters: 畵員) of Dohwaseo(圖畵署), and there also remained Buddhist paintings produced alone by painters such as Yi Sang-jwa and Yi Maeng-geun. Compared to this situation, in the mid to late Joseon Dynasty, it can be confirmed that the frequency of production of the Buddhist paintings by the hwawons decreases compared to the previous period because the existing works are either co-produced or the participation of the Hwawons is unclear. In addition, hwaseungs(Buddhist monk painters, 畵僧) belonging to Buddhist temples during this period were active as the main producers of the Buddhist paintings. However, we confirmed through the literature that there were the cases of Buddhist paintings produced by the hwawons such as Kim Myeong-guk(金明國) and Yi Jeong(李楨) in the mid to late Joseon Dynasty, and sometimes, also suggested the possibility of a point of contact between the hwawons and the hwaseungs. In addition, we estimated the mutual influential relationship through the cases where at the request of the temple, the hwawons were dispatched to the temple to produce the Buddhist paintings or the hwaseungs were responsible for paintings in government offices, and determined that this situation would be also related to the emergence of new elements in the Buddhist paintings in the temple.
