EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Books and Scholars Accouterments" created by Yi Taek-gyun in the late 1800s. The painting belongs to a genre known as chaekgado, which translates to "pictures of bookshelves". Originally crafted as a royal emblem during King Jeongjo's reign in the late 18th century, chaekgado gained immense popularity among aristocrats throughout the 1800s. The screen depicted in this image is an exceptional example of this art form, consisting of ten panels adorned with a total of 35 compartments. Within these compartments lie an array of meticulously arranged utilitarian objects, antiquities, and numerous volumes of books. This intricate composition reflects not only the importance placed on knowledge and scholarship but also highlights the refined taste and appreciation for aesthetics prevalent during Korea's Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910). Yi Taek-gyun's masterful use of ink and color on silk brings life to each element within this extraordinary piece. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both the practicality and beauty found within scholarly pursuits. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this heritage artwork serves as a testament to Korea's rich cultural history. Through its impressive craftsmanship and artistic finesse, it invites viewers into a world where books are revered treasures that hold profound wisdom waiting to be discovered.
