About the Artwork
After Rain at Mount Inwang is an inkwash painting composed by Korean master Jeong Seon. The misty and foggy illusions, characteristic of the South School of art, are prominent within the landscape surrounding Mount Inwang. The detailed terrain of the mountain can be vividly seen by audiences throughout this painting, almost placing viewers directly at the foot of the great peak and looking up through the fog across the landscape.
About the Artist
Born in Korea and known by the name Kyomjae (which translates to "humble study"), Jeong Seon studied under the Chinese Southern School of art. He is known as one of the most famous Korean painters throughout its history. As opposed to showcasing any abstraction within the lands, Seon is able to realistically render famous geographic features of the regions in Korea, such as within his pieces like Geumgang Jeondo (1734), Gwiraejeong (1742), and Ingokjeongsa (1742).
About the Movement
After Rain at Mount Inwang was in the South School Age of art. Standing in opposition from the North School of art, the Chinese Southern School showcased a more intimate style of art. The landscape of each painting is essentially shrouded in fog and mist while inked, calligraphic forms flowed to the rocks, trees, and other objects to create an emotional connection with the serenity of the landscape. Some of the most famous South School artists included Jeong Seon, Kuo Hsi, and Dong Qichang.
