Sin Wi (Korean: 신위, 1769 – 1847?), art names Jaha (자하) or Gyeongsudang (경수당), was a scholar official of the late Joseon period as well as an amateur-painter in the literati artistic style.
Life and legacy
[edit]Born in Pyeongsan, he was attached to the embassy sent to China in 1813.[1] He met Feng Fangkang (1733–1818), an authority in inscriptions on stone and bronze. Following the death of Crown Prince Hyomyeong in 1830, he was sent to exile, but later recalled. He was a progressive thinker, involved in the Sirhak movement.
His painting shows the influence of his teacher Gang Se-hwang (1713–1791), and he was also a follower of Yun Sun (1680–1741).
He is reckoned to be one of the greatest painters of bamboo, and his simple but effective landscape style showed his individuality. The same was true of his calligraphy.
