Ding Guanpeng (1691-1771), The Great Scroll of the Origin and Flow of the Dharma Realm, Qing Dynasty. Length: 2023 cm (796.46 in); Width: 43.5 cm (17.13 in). Handscroll, colour on silk. This monumental Buddhist painting, also known as *The Thousand Buddha Scroll*, was painted by Ding Guanpeng by imperial order. Following Buddhist scriptures, the scroll sequentially depicts Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Dharma protectors, eighteen Arhats, Vimalakirti preaching and other Buddhist narratives, with inscribed labels identifying each figure. All deities are rendered with solemn features, arhats in vivid expressions, paired with pavilions, cloud patterns, auspicious beasts, canopies and jewelled ornaments. Combining traditional Chinese figure painting with Western chiaroscuro techniques, the work features delicate and powerful linework, rich and elegant colour palette, intricately patterned robes and finely detailed jewelled crowns. The continuous composition unfolds the grand vision of the Dharma realm. The frontispiece bears the title *Fajie Yuanliu Tu*, with imperial palace collector seals. It retains its original cloud-pattern brocade wrapper, exemplifying imperial Qing Buddhist painting at its finest.
