About This Item
Seoul, Korea: National Museum of Korea, 2012. Softcover. VG (Slight soiling to cover slight bends to oversize cover; otherwise Like New.). Cream firm wraps, 271 pp., many color & BW illus. "Portraiture is an art genre that appeared early in human history in both the East and the West. Korean portrait painting has a long history that goes back as far as the Goguryeo period, but it flourished and saw its greatest development in the Joseon Dynasty. In Joseon, the three bonds and five cardinal relationships of Confucianism formed the basis of the social order, and few forms of visual art can help one understand the nature and underlying philosophy of Joseon society better than portraits do." (p. 6).
