Yeongsanhoesangdo refers to the painting depicting the scene that Buddha preaches on Mt. Youngchuksan. Several painters including Uigyeom, a renowned monk artist, painted this Yeonsanhoesangdo placed in Haeinsa Temple on the silk in 1729 or the 5th year of King Yeongjo in the Joseon Kingdom. It is 3.34m long and 2.4m wide.

 

Buddha, the main figure of the painting, is sitting at center of the screen and pointing his fingers into the earth making the hand shape of Hangmachokjiin that means defeating the devils. His body is much more bigger than other figures on the painting. He has very robust and wide shoulders. His sturdy body overwhelms the spectators. However, his round face and light smile give an impression of warmness and generosity. Many other figures are filling the whole screen centering on Buddha. Their features are so similar to each other that they look very standardized.

 

The white and gold colors are painted on the light red and green screen, making the paining look light and warm. The colors and patterns on the robes and on the pedestal are very elaborated and accurate. Many other figures around Buddha are placed so skillfully that they hardly make the painting look stuffy. The painting's brisk composition, elegant colors and patterns, and elaborated brush touches show the artistic excellency. Because the phrases on the painting tell us the exact painted date, it is a very important painting for the research on the Buddhist paintings of the late Joseon Kingdom.
