ARTstor
has collaborated with Carl and Jennifer Strom to digitize and
distribute more than 3,200 images from the unique Strom Archive of the
art and architecture from Buddhist monasteries and temples in Korea.
The
Strom Archive consists primarily of photographs of South Korean
Buddhist temple and monastery art including paintings, murals, and
sculptures. Coverage extends from the 13th to the 20th centuries, with
the highest concentration of paintings dating from ca. 1600 to 1800.
The temple sites, building names, and inscriptions identifying artists,
occasions, dates, donors, and monks were all recorded along with the
measurements of the paintings.
