Framed Watercolor print on Canvas Board of Korea: 'A dancing boy'. From Danwon Pungsokdo Cheop by Kim Hongdo. Print is framed in a shadow Box style Frame under glass.
Kim Hongdo, better known as Danwon (1745-c. 1806), was a painter of the late Joseon period. A member of the Gimhae Kim clan, he grew up in present-day Ansan, South Korea, where he was taught by Pyoam Kang Sehwang, one of the most famous calligraphers of the day. He entered royal service as a member of the Dohwaseo, the official painters of the Joseon court, and drew the portrait of King Jeongjo. Danwon is known as the first Korean painter to extensively portray Korean daily life in a manner analogous to the Dutch Masters. Because of this, his paintings today are valued almost as much for the insight they shed on daily life in Joseon as for their inherent aesthetic value. less
