Hyeolmang Peak, from the Album of Divine Paintings by Gyeomjae [Jeong Seon] and Hyeonjae [Sim Sajeong] (Gyeomhyeon sinpumcheop)

mid-18th century
Not on view
Returned to lender
This work of art was on loan to the museum and has since been returned to its lender.
In this close-up depiction of one of the famous pinnacles of Inner Geumgang—known for its hollow center—we can feel the rapid speed with which Jeong repeatedly layered vertical strokes to outline the title peak and the surrounding pillars. Swathed in a subtle wash and with their bottom edges left unanchored, the solid rocks appear to float.
