AI Abstract
During the late Joseon dynasty, folding screens, known as Wanghoedo, depicted a figure in a Chinese-style palace receiving tributes from foreign envoys. These paintings, eight to ten panels wide, are considered part of court painting tradition. Wanghoedo screens emerged during King Jeongjo's reign as a form of decorative court art, inspired by Chinese tribute paintings and reflecting ideals of a peaceful reign. Their composition blends Chinese and Korean elements, showcasing courtly grandeur and auspiciousness, primarily reserved for royal palace use.
