Gim Hong-do (김홍도, born 1745, died 1806?-1814?), also known as Kim Hong-do, most often styled Danwon (단원), was a full-time painter of the Joseon period of Korea. He was together a pillar of the establishment and a key figure of the new trends of his time, the 'true view painting'. Gim Hong-do was an exceptional artist in every field of traditional painting, even if he is mostly remembered nowadays for his depictions of the everyday life of ordinary people, in a manner analogous to the Dutch Masters.[1]

Biography

Danwon was a member of the Gimhae Gim clan. He grew up in present-day Ansan, South Korea. At the age of 7, Gim Hong-do studied under the renowned master Pyoam Kang Se-hwang, who was then living in seclusion in Ansan.[2] In 1766, at the age of 21, on the recommendation of Kang Sehwang,[3] he entered the royal service as a member (hwawon) of the Dohwaseo, the official painters of the Joseon court. In 1771, he painted the portrait of the Royal Heir (the future King Jeongjo). In 1773, he assisted Byeon Sang-byeok when painting the Royal Portrait of King Yeongjo (1694–1724–1776).

In 1776, he painted the "Nineteen Taoist Immortals", that skyrocketed his reputation as a painter. At the same time, the new instated King Jeongjo (1752–1776–1800) commissioned him for many institutional paintings.

He died in loneliness and poverty, though the circumstances, and even the year are unknown. Sources are guessing 1806,[4] circa 1810,[5] or after 1814.[1][3]

Legacy

Danwon is remembered today as one of the "Three Wons," together with Hyewon and Owon. He is also often joined to Owon and the 15th-century painter An Gyeon as one of Joseon's three greatest painters.

The city of Ansan, where he spent his youth and learned his craft, has memorialized him in many ways. The district of Danwon-gu is named after him, as is Ansan's annual "Danwon Art Festival." Many public places have been designed in imitation of his works.[6]

Gallery

Various sources have various opinions about what could be a 'top ten' list for Gim Hong-do.[4][5][7] The most important fact is how successful was Gim Hong-do in all the various types of paintings.

Towooart[8] provides a short notice and an argumented selection of paintings. The Korean Copyright Commission[9] lists 757 paintings, 7 calligraphies and 4 moldings for Gim Hong-do. Remark: some paintings have multiple descriptions (often a sepia version is given with a very fine resolution, and a colorful one with a lower resolution. An example is 평양감사 향안도 Feast for the Pyongyang Governor).

[it] Kim Hong-do

Kim Hong-do[1], noto anche con lo pseudonimo di Tanwŏn (金弘道?; 1745 – 1806), è stato un pittore coreano vissuto nell’ultimo periodo della dinastia Chosŏn, all’incirca attorno al XVIII e XIX secolo. I dati circa la sua nascita e la sua morte sono molto incerti, ma molti studiosi affermano che sia nato nel 1745 e morto invece nel 1806. È tuttora riconosciuto come uno dei tre principali pittori degli oltre cinquecento anni di storia del periodo Chosŏn (1392-1910), assieme ad altri importanti artisti, come An Gyŏn e Chang Sŭngŏp.[2] I suoi lavori hanno dato nuova vita all’ultimo periodo di questa dinastia e a quello del "paesaggio realistico", che ha avuto maggiore importanza durante il regno del re Chŏngjo. È per questo motivo che questo periodo viene spesso definito l’età d’oro della cultura coreana. Ma non solo. In questo periodo specifico la Corea inizia ad avere una stabilità politica e sociale notevole, come anche quella economica.[3] Questo quindi dà la possibilità di far crescere anche la cultura e l’arte, permettendo di concentrarsi su aspetti più creativi della vita. Inoltre, ciò che fa fiorire questo periodo d’oro della cultura coreana, sono i monarchi al capo della dinastia, come ad esempio i re Chŏngjo e Yŏngjo, i quali hanno deciso di patrocinare diversi artisti talentuosi.
