Bhaisajyaguru Buldo Painting of Jijangsa Temple

A taenghwa is a Buddhist painting made in the form of a framed or hanging scroll, so that it can be hung in a worship hall. This taenghwa, which hangs behind the Buddha statue in Jijangsa Temple's Neungin-bojeon Hall, is painted in colour on a silk ground and measures 174.5 cm across and 111.5 cm high. It faithfully displays the characteristics of late Joseon Buddhist painting: the simplified forms of the sacred figures, the use of shading, the murky tones of red and green, the excessive use of dark ultramarine, the horizontal composition typical of Buddhist paintings, and the simplified rendering of the figures depicted.
