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.
Among the oft-depicted sites within Inner Geumgang, Manpok Valley is a converging point for many distinctive features of the Diamond Mountains: foliage-lined hills, spiky peaks, oddly formed rocks, and gushing streams. Here the small but visible presence of the human travelers connects viewers with the actual place.
