Illustration of the Amitayurdhyana Sutra

Ink and color on silk

觀無量壽經變相

韓國

依據《觀無量壽經》〈序分〉繪製。描繪摩揭陀國王舍城的王子阿闍世為篡奪王位,幽閉父王頻婆娑羅,欲令餓死,母韋提希夫人暗藏食物探視,亦被幽禁。韋提希嘆息厭世,求佛說法,佛現身於眼前,為之開演此經。
 畫面中的樓閣建築代表王宮。圖右樓閣第一層描繪阿闍世王以劍企圖害母,二大臣予以規勸;第二層為頻婆娑羅王和韋提希夫人合掌而立,目犍連和富樓那從空中而來為王說法。圖左樓閣第一層表現富樓那為頻婆娑羅王說法的場面;第二層描繪韋提希向空中嚎泣訴佛。畫面上方佛陀及弟子們乘雲而至,為韋提希說法。每個場景均有榜題,紅底金字。
 作品以褐色為底,屋頂用綠色、青色、金色,華麗而不耀眼,並以湧雲、松樹,巧妙地表現其空間性。故事情節緊湊,人物活潑生動,可謂為上乘之作。
