고성 옥천사 대웅전 석조불상 연구 －조성시기와 조각승을 중심으로－

Abstract

This paper is a study on the Production date and Monk sculptor about the Stone seated Amitabha triad enshrined in Daewoongjeon Hall of Okcheonsa Temple at Goseong. As the Sacred Objects Stored in Stone seated Amitabha triad has not been investigated, so it cannot reveal the specific timing of its creation and the author. However, after the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592, the construction of Okcheonsa temple's pavilions and the stylistic characteristics of the Buddha statues were compared with those of the mid-late 17th century Buddhas. In a comparative study like this, I found that the Stone triad Buddha statue was made around 1654 when the Buddha Hall was built and it was built in the early days of the Guekrakjeon and was renamed Daewoongjeon in 1745. This Stone Buddha statue is similar to the Stone Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made by a monk sculptor Gyeongok(敬玉) in 1670, which was created in 1670. A monk sculptor Gyeongok made the Wooden seated triad of JeonNam Gangjin Jeongsoosa temple with leading monk sculptor Suengil in 1648, the Wooden seated Buddha triad of GyeongBuk Gumi Sudasa temple in 1649 and the Wooden seated Amitabha triad of JeonBuk Jinan Guemdangsa temple in 1650 with leading sculptor Huijang. Also he produced the Wooden seated Buddha triad of Deagu Dalseong Woonheungsa temple in 1653 with eading sculptor Dowoo and the Stone seated Amitabha triad in 1655. When he created the Buddha statue at Songrimsa Temple in Chilgok, North Gyeongsang Province, in 1655, he played a pivotal role, becoming the third to fourth of the sculptors to be mentioned, and is believed to be at least in his 40s. Therefore, it is estimated that the Buddha statue of Okcheonsa Temple, which was built by Gyeongok in 1670, was made in his 60s. The Buddha statue he produced features a nearly perpendicular line from the eye to the nose, a cylindrical nose and a large philtrum. Also, the tip of the robes over the right shoulder forms a V shape, and the fold of the garment feels flat overall. The statues unknown production date of Yeongnam, which have such stylistic features, include the Stone seated Buddha triad of Yonghwasa Temple in Tongyeong, the Stone seated Sakhamuni triad of Yongmunsa Temple in Namhae, the stone statue of Buddha in Yongmunsa Temple in Namhae, the stone statue of Stone seated Amitabha triad of of Uiryeong Monksa Temple. These are believed to have been made by Gyeong-ok or his pedigree Sculptor around 1680
