AB - This paper presents two portraits of General Gang Min-cheom(963～ 1021) enshrined in Eunryeolsa Temple in Jinju City (Gyeongsangnam-do Province). Gang Min-cheom was a great general during the Goryeo Period. When So Bae-ab invaded with an army of 100,000 soldiers, he went to war with another great general, Gang Gam-chan and defeated the enemy completely at Heunghwajin. During the reign of King Munjong, his memorial tablet were enshrined in the Gongshingak, the memorial for meritorious retainers. The two portraits are assumed to be the original copy and a copy from the original. The figure in the portraits is seated in full length and looking at the left side. And the sitter wears an official uniform of the Goryeo Period and Bokdu, an official hat that was given to the person who passed the national examination, holding a mace in both hands. The original copy is an excellent artwork that captured the sprit of the figure through fine and gentle brush strokes and impressive color effects on the silk canvas. On the other hand, the copy was drawn on the two pieced hemp canvases, presenting the old style that centered on thick brushes and lines. The copy is assumed to be copied in later times or to be retouched afterwards.
There are other copies of the portrait that handed down to: the one from the collection of the National Museum of Korea, Sukcheong-gak and Dubangyoung-dang. It has been documented that Gang Se-hwang copied two portraits in 1790 and Gang-yio retouched to color some worn parts of the portraits. So the possibility that Gang Se-hwang's works are among the existing ones cannot be ruled out.
The two portraits in question are valuable as data in light of the relations between the original and the copies that are enshrined in Gyeongsangnam-do Province. I hope the outcome of the present paper will be a step toward a further study of the trend, that is, an increase of the number of copies and transfer of the copies.
