Painting

As Buddhist paintings are relatively easy to produce, transport, and adapt, they have a larger impact on the development of Buddhist propagation. The Painting category consists of three volumes that have 1,399 selected entries with 2,732 pictures including temple murals, engravings, and rubbings, as well as silk and paper artworks collected by museums around the world.

The volume contains an overview that details types and styles of Buddhist paintings in different regions and countries. The appendices in the last volume list different types of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors.
