ABSTRACT

This paper attempts to reveal the characteristics of portrait panegyrics such as Kim Jong-hui and Shin Wi in the history of the portrait panegyrics. It does this by analyzing the description of appearance and the View on portrait. Such characteristics were established in the context of friendship and influence of Qing literary figures such as Weng Fang-gang and Oh Seung-lyang, during the same era. While there was a strong intention to evoke the image and text related to Su Shi’s portrait, there was little interest in the specific description about the appearance of the portrait of the Korean literary men. In addition, Chusa Kim Jeong-hui school’s portraits brought forward specific themes such as “spiritual resemblance” and “literary connection,” through the portraits. These show their significant origins based on the poetry and literature of Weng Fang-gang in the Qing Dynasty. Meanwhile, examples of works in this article, including the visualization of other names in painting and poetry, show that their View on portrait, which emphasizes symbols over appearance, had been simultaneously readopted and recreated in other ways in the Korean–Chinese literary world.
