A compassionate bodhisattva who rescues sentient beings from being thrown into hell or purgatory, Kshitigarbha (Jijang in Korean) became enormously popular during the Goryeo period. A key figure in Pure Land Buddhism, Kshitigarbha was often depicted singly and in the guise of a monk\u2014with a shaved head, wearing a monk\u2019s robe, and holding his standard attributes, a staff and a wish-fulfilling jewel (cintamani). This exquisite scroll is a well-preserved and wonderfully representative example of Goryeo Buddhist painting. Some of its hallmarks are the deity\u2019s graceful facial features and slender fingers, the red and green colors of the robe, and the sumptuously elegant gold decoration. Very few Korean paintings made prior to the twelfth century survive. Buddhist paintings of the Goryeo dynasty were renowned for their delicacy and refinement. Pigments were applied to both the back and the front of the silk, intensifying their hues and luminosity (though some have faded over time and from exposure to light).Free picture Kshitigarbha integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
