Eight Scenes from the Life of the Buddha of Jijangsa Temple

This painting, preserved in the Daeungjeon Hall of Jijangsa Temple, depicts the life of Sakyamuni Buddha. Measuring 190.5 cm wide and 147.5 cm high, it is painted in colour on silk, with eight scenes compressed onto a single canvas. The picture surface is divided into eight sections, each depicting only the most dramatic moment of the scene; the formulaic shapes and murky tones running through each scene reflect well the style of Buddhist painting of the late 19th century.
