The 12th volume of the Journal of Korean Art and Archaeology focuses on court painting of the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897). Initially overlooked, this field has seen significant growth. Key insights include changes in the Dohwaseo artist system and the role of uigwe books in documenting events, boosting interest in court painting. The National Palace Museum of Korea, established in 2005, raised public awareness. Featured articles explore decorative court painting, including works like the Sun and Moon, Five Peaks, and other motifs, illustrating unique artistry and cultural significance distinct from Chinese and Japanese styles. Research articles highlight examples from U.S. collections and major achievements of 18th-century court painting, underscoring the genre's evolution and importance.
