Illustration of the Amitayurdhyana Sutra

Ink and color on silk

觀無量壽經變相

韓國

圖最下方有題記「淨土十六觀依經各頌」,年代及畫匠等記載明確,是研究高麗(918~1392)佛畫的珍貴資料。據題記得知,忠肅王十年(1323)由僧信九人發起,畫匠薛冲和李□二人作畫。此圖依據《觀無量壽經》繪製。主要描繪佛將極樂世界的十六種觀想法門展現在韋提希等人面前,並救助韋提希王妃及其一行人的故事。
 作品構圖細密,井然有序,畫面分為三段。上段的上半部係以日想觀的紅日為中心,左右各有二群乘雲化佛,聚集於此;其下是橫向流淌的水流,水流下方以華麗的格子紋為底,分置七株大樹,大樹之間植小樹。
 中段正中央為釋迦牟尼佛說法的場面,左右有菩薩、羅漢環繞其側,其上、下均繪有佛三尊像坐於樓閣中。下段樓閣前繪蓮池,池中蓮花上有佛、菩薩、羅漢等。畫面兩側繪三座殿堂、蓮池及聖眾。
 此圖以紅、綠色為主,間或混合金泥等色彩,以提高亮度,表現高麗佛畫常見的特色。
