The Sinhuengsa Buddhist Paintings are a set of 18th-century Buddhist paintings from the Joseon Dynasty. They are owned by the Sinheungsa Temple of the Jogye Order in Sokcho, Gangwon Province, South Korea. Composing of two sets of works: the Yeongsanhoesangdo (Preaching Shakyamuni) and the Siwangdo (The Ten Kings of Hell), they were looted from the temple by American military personnel in 1954 after the Korean War. The paintings ended up in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the 1990s–2000s, before subsequent research between the Jogye Order and museums led to their repatriations in 2020 and 2025.
