Landscape Paintings of the Late Joseon Period With Yi Song-mi
A genre of Korean landscape painting termed "true-view" refers to paintings of scenery that actually existed in Korea, and that flowered during the 17th century into the 19th century. After the fall of the Ming dynasty Koreans became increasingly conscious of their own historical and cultural heritage and their land of exceptional beauty, which Korean scholars absorbed and assimilated into their own cultural environment. It is with this background that the genre of "true-view" landscape paintings evolved. This group of Joseon Dynasty paintings truly expresses the creative energy and ethos of the Korean people.
Professor Yi Song-mi has had a distinguished career as Professor of Art History and Dean at the Academy of Korean Studies and President of Korean Art History Association and lecturer on East Asian Art History at Princeton, where she also received her PhD. She has been conducting in-depth research into the court documents of the Joseon Dynasty, for which she was awarded a medal of the Order of Civil Merit from the Korean government. She has published many books on Korean Landscape paintings of the Joseon Dynasty.
