Amitabha Buldo Painting of Jijangsa Temple

This painting depicts Amitabha Buddha preaching the Dharma. It is painted in colour on silk and measures 223.5 cm wide and 138 cm tall. Amitabha is placed at the centre of the composition, flanked by his retinue of attendant figures; the figures are full-bodied and finely rendered, and the patterns are lavish. The five-coloured halo draws the eye, while the depiction of the robes is somewhat stylised. The reds and greens are rather muted, and the deep cobalt blue clearly reflects the style of Buddhist paintings from the late 19th century.
