Thirty-Two Manifestations of Avalokitesvara

Ink and color on silk

觀音三十二應身圖 李自實

韓國

據畫面題記,此圖係朝鮮明宗五年(1550)仁宗的妃子恭懿王大妃為祈願仁宗(1545在位)冥福而作,內容依《妙法蓮華經》卷七〈觀世音菩薩普門品〉及《楞嚴經》記述,由李自實繪製,嘗供奉於韓國全羅南道靈巖郡道岬寺金堂。依題記判斷,此幅是韓國現存唯一的三十二觀音應身圖。
 畫面中央觀音菩薩戴寶冠,身著天衣,佩戴瓔珞等華麗裝飾,交足坐於岩石上。其上方中央端坐二坐佛,左右各有五尊合掌坐佛。背景以山水描繪觀音應身的典故及功德,各場景以山岳區隔,每個場景以金泥題字,圖文相輔。
 人物及故事場景使用朱色、綠青、白綠、白群等顏料。遠山薄塗群青,並施加暈染,山峰墨色較濃,山體則施淡墨,以墨色濃淡呈現立體感。此畫對群山、樹木等描繪技法已達到朝鮮佛畫水準,表現出朝鮮(1392~1910)初期山水畫的特徵。
