Geumgangjeondo
Geumgang jeondo (금강전도 金剛全圖) is a famous landscape painted by Jeong Seon during the reign of King Yeongjo. The title literally means "General view of Mt. Geumgangsan" or The Diamond Mountains). It was classified as the 217th National Treasure of South Korea on August 6, 1984. The painting is currently held and managed by the Ho-Am Art Museum in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province and is owned by Lee Kun-hee. While many contemporaneous painters imitated the latest art trends from China, Jeong Seon ignored these to create unique themes based on Korean landscapes. His catalogue of paintings of Geumgansan made him famous and the preeminent painter of his time at the age of 37. He eventually painted around 100 images of the mountains which still exist to this day. The artist’s love of the mountains influenced other artists to depict the Diamond Mountains and even encouraged mapmakers to make maps of the area. Although Jeong Seon made many paintings of Mt. Geumgangsan, this pai ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Joseon Dynasty
Joseon (; ; Middle Korean: 됴ᇢ〯션〮 Dyǒw syéon or 됴ᇢ〯션〯 Dyǒw syěon), officially the Great Joseon (; ), was the last dynastic kingdom of Korea, lasting just over 500 years. It was founded by Yi Seong-gye in July 1392 and replaced by the Korean Empire in October 1897. The kingdom was founded following the aftermath of the overthrow of Goryeo in what is today the city of Kaesong. Early on, Korea was retitled and the capital was relocated to modern-day Seoul. The kingdom's northernmost borders were expanded to the natural boundaries at the rivers of Amrok and Tuman through the subjugation of the Jurchens. During its 500-year duration, Joseon encouraged the entrenchment of Confucian ideals and doctrines in Korean society. Neo-Confucianism was installed as the new state's ideology. Buddhism was accordingly discouraged, and occasionally the practitioners faced persecutions. Joseon consolidated its effective rule over the territory of current Korea and saw the ...

Korean Art
Korean arts include traditions in calligraphy, music, painting and pottery, often marked by the use of natural forms, surface decoration and bold colors or sounds. The earliest examples of Korean art consist of Stone Age works dating from 3000 BC. These mainly consist of votive sculptures and more recently, petroglyphs, which were rediscovered. This early period was followed by the art styles of various Korean kingdoms and dynasties. Korean artists sometimes modified Chinese traditions with a native preference for simple elegance, spontaneity, and an appreciation for purity of nature. The Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) was one of the most prolific periods for a wide range of disciplines, especially pottery. The Korean art market is concentrated in the Insadong district of Seoul where over 50 small galleries exhibit and occasional fine arts auctions. Galleries are cooperatively run, small and often with curated and finely designed exhibits. In every town there are smaller region ...

Geumgang In Autumn
Pungaknaesan chongramdo (풍악내산총람도 楓岳內山摠覽圖) is a famous landscape painted by Jeong Seon during the reign of King Yeongjo. The title literally means "Overview of Mt. Pungak", the Autumn name of the Diamond Mountains. The painting is housed at the Gansong Art Museum. Analysis Jeong Seon produced many paintings of Mt. Geumgangsan. This painting is special, due to the choice of the season (Autumn). Moreover, quite all remarkable places are explicitly named. The painting is of Naegeumgang, the Inner Mt. Geumgangsan and is obviously to be compared with the Geumgang jeondo. On the bottom right, one can see a preeminent representation of the Rainbow bridge (Bihong—gyo, 飛虹橋), an arched bridge near the Changansa Temple. As documented by several scholar-officials who traveled in the area, however, this bridge was destroyed by flood in 1723. This rather indicates that the painting was done from sketches previously drawn, in the 1711-1712 travels to Geumg ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
