Inscribed "Geollyung40nyeon" Bhaisajyaguru Buddha Altar Painting of Tongdosa Temple, Yangsan

This work is an altar painting hung behind the Buddha image in Yaksajeon Hall, made in 1775 by the monk-painter Pogwan and others, leading figures in the production of Buddhist paintings at Tongdosa Temple at the time. Centred on the halo of the main Buddha image, gold pigment is skilfully applied to the attributes and drapery folds held by the surrounding bodhisattvas and guardian deities, adding vitality to the composition, and the varied costumes of the guardian figures are also of valuable documentary interest.
