朝鮮初期 瀟湘八景圖의 시각적 번안과 그 표상적 의미 - 江天暮雪을 중심으로

Abstract

The Eight Views of Xiao Xiang is a scenic painting that depicts the eight beautiful landscapes of the Xiao and Xiang rivers in Changsha, Hunan. In the case of Korea, it was introduced in the Koryo era, and many artists of literature and fine art began to create interpretations of their own. The first introduction was a piece by Sung Ti of the Northen Song era, which was introduced to literary circles. In the cases of Myeong-Jong of Koryo and Anpyeong Daigun's pieces, it was confirmed that poetry was first composed, and paintings created from the images depicted in them. The Eight Views of Xiao Xiang became a synonym for conceptual scenery painting with a specific geographical designation when it was introduced in Korea. Korean artists translated their imaginings of the eight views in China they had never seen -- therefore, stereotypical symbols were mandatorily inserted. Pine trees and old fishermen were painted, which are rarely found in Chinese pieces. Thus the process in which the Eight Views of Xiao Xiang was translated into a Korean style can be studied, and the wills of the entrepreneurs to fit it into a classical scenery where their images of virtuous men could be observed. The Eight Views of Xiao Xiang was a conceptual scenery where the harmony and the order of nature was expressed based on a scenic masterpiece where the mental image of the artist is projected upon; it was a subject of appreciation reinterpreted in a purely Korean style.
