Hyewon

Like his contemporaries Danwon and Geungjae, he is known for his realistic depictions of daily life in his time.

Together with Danwon and the later painter Owon, Hyewon is remembered today as one of the "Three Wons" of Joseon-period painting. Biography Not much is known about Shin Yun-bok's life.
