Geoje Hyeyangsawanhojakbulhwa (set)

This is a set of Buddhist paintings by Wanho, a geumeo (a title given to an accomplished Buddhist monk-painter), remarkable for the delicacy and originality of its iconographic composition. The set comprises an Amitabha hubultaeng (a painting of Amitabha Buddha hung behind the main altar), a Sinjungtaeng (a painting of guardian deities), a Jijangtaeng (a painting of the bodhisattva Ksitigarbha), a Dokseongtaeng (a painting of the Lone Sage) and a Sansintaeng (a painting of the mountain spirit). It is a rare instance in which the works of a single painter have been kept together as a group, and it is an important source for tracing the changes in Buddhist painting from the late Joseon period through to the modern era.
