DiaporamaHyeolmang Peak, from the Album of Divine Paintings by Gyeomjae [Jeong Seon] and Hyeonjae [Sim Sajeong] (Gyeomhyeon sinpumcheop)
701
33.0cm x 22.0cm
Jeong Seon (1676 – 1759)
Jeong Seon (Gyeomjae), a Korean landscape painter of the Joseon Dynasty, revolutionized art by prioritizing realism and capturing Korea's beauty with unparalleled detail—a true pioneer of 'true-view' painting.
In this close-up depiction of one of the famous pinnacles of Inner Geumgang—known for its hollow center—we can feel the rapid speed with which Jeong repeatedly layered vertical strokes to outline the title peak and the surrounding pillars. Swathed in a subtle wash and with their bottom edges left unanchored, the solid rocks appear to float.
