The National Palace Museum of Korea Presents Folding Screen Embroidered with Pine Tree and Crane Design as the Curator’s Choice for February
- A Folding Screen That Once Decorated the Korean Imperial Court to Be Presented in the Gallery and Online / Starting February 3 -
The National Palace Museum of Korea (Director: Kim In Kyu), an affiliate of the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea, has selected Folding Screen Embroidered with Pine Tree and Crane Design as its "Curator’s Choice from the Royal Treasures” for the month of February. In addition to being displayed in the Korean Empire gallery on the first floor of the museum, it will be presented virtually in a YouTube broadcast on the channels of the Cultural Heritage Administration and the National Palace Museum of Korea starting February 3.
This embroidered folding screen was used to decorate interior spaces within the Korean imperial court. It was modeled on a painting by an artist named Yang Gi-hun (1843?1911), who was active in the late Joseon Dynasty and Korean Empire period and was renowned for his paintings on the reeds-and-geese theme. The ninth and tenth panels feature a poem and a type of inscription known as a gwanseo* reading "臣浿江老漁楊基薰敬寫” (meaning, painted respectfully by your subject, Yang Gi-hun (sobriquet: Paegangnoeo)).
This indicates that the screen was provided as tribute to Emperor Gojong (r. 1863?1907). A gwanseo inscription and seals of the artist are unique features of court paintings produced during the Korean Empire period. They demonstrate the change from court paintings being produced by the Dohwaseo (Royal Bureau of Painting) to procurement by direct commission or tribute from freelance artists following the abolition of the bureau in 1894.
The embroidery on this screen reflects the characteristics of anjusu, the embroidery style of the Anju region in Pyongan-do Province (in present day North Korea). This also illustrates the changes that had taken place in the way that goods were procured for use in the royal court. The production of embroidered goods for the Joseon royal court had been the exclusive responsibility of court women in the Subang (Embroidery Room). However, distinctive local embroidery styles developed in the provincesaround the late nineteenth to twentieth century.
Works of embroidery began to be distributed throughout the nation and were eventually introduced to the imperial court in large quantities.Anjusu is one example, and it is known that the Korean imperial court commissioned or received as tribute embroidered folding screens through the local government office in Pyongan-do Province. Moreover, there are photographs of the Korean imperial court with anjusu folding screens in the background, further demonstrating their presence in the court.
Although there are no restrictions on the number of visitors allowed in the gallery, all visitors to the museum must abide by the requirements in place to reduce any potential spread of COVID-19. Those who are unable to visit the gallery in person can still enjoy this month’s Curator’s Choice virtually through a video with Korean and English subtitles available on the museum’s website (gogung.go.kr) and on the YouTube channels of the museum and of the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea.
