Illustration of the Amitayurdhyana Sutra (detail)

Ink and color on silk

觀無量壽經變相 李孟根

韓國

依據《觀無量壽經》繪製。朝鮮世祖十一年(1465)由王室和貴族發願所作,年代及畫師明確,為現存朝鮮時期(1392~1910)佛畫中最早的西方淨土圖。
 畫面主要描繪十六觀場面。最上方繪十六觀中的第一觀日想觀,左側由上至下畫有第二觀至第七觀的內容,與之對稱的右側有第八觀至第十三觀的內容,其中有幾個觀想內容被省略。極樂世界的每座殿閣及蓮池中皆有菩薩、弟子及眾生等,池邊有孔雀、仙鶴嬉戲。
 中央主尊阿彌陀佛結跏趺坐於八角蓮座上。帶圓形頭光和身光,身光中呈現無數化佛。頭部髻珠鮮豔,胸前金色飾物,及懸裳樣式,具高麗(918~1392)後期的主尊特點;繫於下襬的結帶,是朝鮮初期才出現的特徵。二脇侍比例較小,長方形臉,形象生硬,裝飾簡化,天衣猶如法衣,為朝鮮初期菩薩像的特徵。
 構圖規整有序,以簡潔的筆觸描繪出群聚的人物,深沉的底色上綴以明亮的中間色,柔和優雅,技法高超,為朝鮮初期佛畫的標準作品。
