Art of the Korean Renaissance, 1400–1600
March 17, 2009–June 21, 2009
Arts of Korea Gallery, 2nd Floor
This international loan exhibition presents approximately 45 works of art that illustrate the height of artistic production under court and elite patronage during the first 200 years of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1910), a time of extraordinary cultural achievements. The diverse yet cohesive group of secular and religious paintings, porcelain, sculpture, lacquer, and metalwork highlights the aesthetics, conventions, and innovations of a Neo-Confucian elite and its artistic milieu. This is the first in a series of special international loan exhibitions at the Museum focusing on significant periods in Korean art history.
Accompanied by a catalogue.
The exhibition is made possible by the Korea Foundation and The Kun-Hee Lee Fund for Korean Art.
The catalogue is made possible by The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Foundation and The Kun-Hee Lee Fund for Korean Art.
