robotsandfrippary:robotsandfrippary:thehussy:beauty-jewty: shihlun:Yi Am, Puppy Playing With a Pheasant Feather, c. 1550 I keep seeing this painting so had to google it for some more info and got this from the Philadelphia Museum of Art! “The genre of animal painting was first recognized as an independent subject in Korea in the eleventh century. During the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), the genre gained further importance as one of the three subjects included in the official proficiency examination for court painters. Yi Am, a descendant of the Joseon royal family, enjoyed great success as a painter not only in Korea, but also in Japan, where his images were appreciated and studied. He specialized in animal painting, and had a particular interest in dogs, as seen in this work.” I love him and his puppy paintings I wanted to add @beauty-jewty’s posts doing the research because I found the sentiment lovely: Good news my darlings, he painted cats as well and holy shit they’re so cute OMG -- source link
