During the Choson period (1392-1910), Korean landscape painting evolved significantly, moving from traditional Chinese influences towards a distinctive Korean style. This transformation became pronounced in the mid-Choson era, reflecting a broader trend of Koreanization across various life sectors. Notably, painter Chong Son (1676-1759) played a crucial role in developing the "chin gyung" or true-view landscape painting, which celebrated the authentic beauty of Korea's countryside. By the eighteenth century, this genre reached its peak, showcasing unique techniques while still drawing inspiration from Chinese art.
