19-20세기 조선 궁궐의 건축 공간과 서화

Abstract

This study discusses how calligraphy and painting were used in the architectural space of royal palaces in Joseon Korea, focusing on recent excavations. Since the remaining works are mainly examples from the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century, architecture-related visual arts such as calligraphy and paintings were classified into three types, specifically focusing on that period and functional usage. Firstly, this paper focuses on the relationship between the space in which they were installed and the royal family users by analyzing the subject matter of the works while discussing the formal characteristics of this type. In Particular, the calligraphy and painting jangji (sliding door) were created for the moral education and visual representation of the royal family’s status and responsibility. Secondly, this study discusses how the Joseon royal family converted the living place into a funeral space by using the folding screen and jangji as a kind of temporary wall. In this regard, through the case of Gyeonghyojeon, prepared for the funeral of Empress Myeongseong, this paper sheds light on the way the royal family decorated the ceremonial space by using the paper-wall folding screen. Thirdly, while discussing the history of the creation of calligraphy and paintings to be attached to the walls of palaces, this study argues how the folding screen mounting was applied to the production of calligraphy and paintings attached to the wall. Ultimately, this study discusses the significance of the late Joseon cultural history by illuminating the palace murals that are currently in museum collections. But they were originally special calligraphy and paintings installed in the architectural space of royal palaces.
