O obrazu
The Fourth King of Hell, a late-fourteenth-century hanging scroll in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, once belonged to a set of ten. Wide-eyed, the ruler sits beside his secretary and watches his sentence carried out. Below, sinners boil in an enormous cauldron as a guard pierces them with heated spears. Buddhist paintings produced for sale in workshops at the Chinese port of Ningbo are thought to have provided an important model for this scene of punishment. On view in exhibition hall 003.
Slovy muzea
Originally part of a set of ten, this hanging scroll depicts the Fourth King of Hell. Accompanied by his secretary, the king with bulging eyes is seated at the center, overseeing how well his verdict is being conducted. On the bottom, sinners are suffering in a giant cauldron filled with boiling water, constantly pierced by a guard’s burning spears. Ready-made Buddhist paintings from China, created in professional workshops in the port city of Ningbo, are believed to one of the important inspirations for this hell scene.
