Postcard – Rocks in the Sea from Changdeokgung Palace
This postcard, “Rocks in the Sea from Changdeokgung Palace,” depicts a monumental mural by Korean painter Kim Gyu-jin (1868–1933), which once adorned the eastern wall of Huijeongdang Hall at Changdeokgung Palace in Seoul.
The painting depicts Chongseokjeong, a famous coastal landscape in Tongcheon and one of the traditional “Eight Scenic Views of Gwandong.” Particularly impressive is the unusual perspective: instead of looking out to sea from the land, as in many traditional depictions, the viewer appears to be on the water, looking toward Chongseok’s distinctive column-like rocks. The bizarre rock formations stretch across the entire composition like a monumental natural curtain.
In this work, Kim Gyu-jin combined traditional Korean painting traditions with the new influences of modernity. The realistic depiction of the landscape represents realistic landscape painting (실경산수화, Silgyeong Sansuhwa). It is also noteworthy that the composition closely follows a photograph from 1913. However, to create the mural, the artist also studied the landscape directly on site and made his own sketches—including from the open sea.
The postcard thus preserves not only an impressive motif from Korean landscape art, but also tells the story of the encounter between traditional court art, photography, and modern painting in Korea in the early 20th century.
Printed on high-quality, sturdy matte paper, the postcard offers an elegant tactile feel and makes a wonderful small gift, decorative keepsake, or medium for a personal message to a friend.
