[QUOTE=linsanity;26004]are these paintings original version or some modern artist re-draw them?For famous arts or artifacts, replicas are exhibited in multiple places. If it's an old painting but looks too clear and bright, it's probably either a replica or a computer-retouched image. Take a look at the examples below.

[b]Kim Hong Do[/b]'s 가두매점/街頭買占. It's kept in a museum in Paris. This type of painting is called 행려풍속도/行旅風俗圖.

I found a good [url= http://culturecontent.com/ ]database site[/url] for Korean genre paintings.

Byun Sang-byuk (변상벽 / 卞相壁, 18th C) was known for his cat drawings. He belonged to the royal court and drew the king's portrait twice.

수계도권 / 修稧圖卷 (Joseon, 1853) by Yu Suk (유숙 / 劉淑, 1827-1873). It depicts the "mid-class" people (중인 / 中人 in between the yangban and commoners) who gathered to commemorate Chinese scholar 王羲之's 修稧 at 蘭亭. Most Joseon painters were from this social class.

There was an exhibition of Joseon paintings at Leeum Art Center.

It is estimated that there are about 160 remaining Goryeo (AD 918 ~ 1392) Buddhist paintings today. 120ish of them are kept in Japan. In 1978, Japanese researchers organized a special exhibition for Goryeo Buddhist paintings for the first time and their unique style drew attention. Buddhism was still the dominant religion in Korea during the Goryeo era.
