Korean Landscape Painting
Korean Landscape Painting, known as Sansuhwa, is a traditional art form that emphasizes the beauty of nature. Originating during the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392), it often features mountains, rivers, and trees, reflecting the harmony between humans and the natural world. Artists use ink and brush techniques to create detailed and expressive scenes, often inspired by the Korean countryside.
The style evolved during the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), where it became more refined and philosophical. Prominent artists like Kim Hong-do and Jang Seung-eop contributed to its development, incorporating elements of Confucianism and Buddhism. Today, Korean Landscape Painting remains a significant cultural heritage, celebrated for its aesthetic and spiritual depth.
