진영(眞影)특집 : 신라 경순왕영정의 제작과 그 의의 = The Production of Portraits of King Gyeongsun of Silla and Its Signicicance

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

King Gyeongsun left more portraits of himself than any other king in Korean history. Although he lost his country, Silla, to the founder of the Goryeo Dynasty, people speak highly of him, as he did his best not to cause harm to the people by giving in peacefully, knowing that the fate was not in his favor. Three portraits of King Gyeongsun were made towards the end of the Silla Period and the early Goryeo Period. One of them was taken by Prince Ii (also know as Crown Prince Maui) to Geumgangsan Mountain, the second was placed in Haeinsa Temple by his second son Prince Hwang, and the third was placed by people of Silla in Gojaam Hermitage, Wonju under thc leadership of the third son, Prince Myeongjong, after the king s demise, While the whereabouts of the portrait taken by Princell is unknown, the one taken to Haeinsa Temple by Prince Hwang was relocated to Eunhaesa Temple, and a new portrait based on that one was kept at Sunghyejeon Shrinein Gyeongju. Later, Yi Myeong-gi and Yi Jin-chun also made new portrait based on that one. Of the two pieces painted by Yi Myeong-gi, one was kept at Sunghyejeon in Gyeongju and the other at Gyeongcheonmyo Shrine in Hadong. Later, a new one, painted in 1677 based on the one taken to Gojaam Hermitage by Prince Myeongjong, was placed at Sunghyejeon Shrine in Gyeongju. It is interesting that all three original portraits were kept at Buddhist temples. Prince Maui took one of the portraits to Gojaam Heriintage in Geumgangsan Mountain, Prince Hwang took the second to Haeinsa Temple, and Prince Myeongjong enshrined the last one in Gojaam Hermitage in Wonju. The tradition of enshrining royal portraits in Buddhist temples was established during the Sila Period. The portraits of King Gyeongsun at Sunghyejeon Shrine in Gyeongju and Gyeongcheonmyo Shrine in Hadong are important historical resources that shed lighton how the painting of royal portraits changed over time. Although only a few such royal portraits are extant, the portraits of King Gyeongsun clearly show the characteristics of royal portraits enshrined in Buddhist temples.
