This Amitabha Buddha triad, according to a scroll found inside one of the three statues, was created in 1645 (the 23rd year of the reign of King Injo during the Joseon Dynasty), under a project sponsored by a large number of donors. A group of monk sculptors, including Cheongheo, Yeongsaek, Hyeonuk, Cheonhwi, Naheum, and Beopchan, collaborated for its creation, under the supervision of the monk Jihui, according to the same scroll. Cheongheo, the head monk sculptor who led this project, is believed to be none other than Cheongheon, the famous 17th century monk sculptor. These three statues faithfully mirror the popular trend in Buddhist sculpture, in early 17th century Joseon. In other words, the Buddhas have a large and voluminous, square-shaped face, broad shoulders and wide knees, and details are carved in forceful lines. These Buddhas, robust and simple in appearance, are highly reminiscent of Buddhist figures sculpted by Cheongheon. This type of masculine and sober aesthetic appears to have emerged in postwar years (following the Japanese Invasion of 1592), as a reflection of the rediscovered self-esteem of Joseon’s Buddhism and under the influence of the Buddhist renaissance movement, sparked by this new self-esteem. The prayer scroll informs that the triad represents Amitabha Buddha, Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattvas. This Buddha triad is a relatively early work, in which the way Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattvas are dressed shows a slight departure from the norm. This triad is arguably the most accomplished work by sculptors of the Cheongheo school, one of the most influential schools of Buddhist sculpture in the 17th century, even if it is not the oldest. The clearly established date of creation makes this set of three sculptures also highly valuable as a reference for dating other late Joseon works.
