The bizarre rock formations stretch across the entire composition like a monumental natural curtain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/0295\/2748\/files\/mural-changdeok-gogung-artlia-2.jpg?v=1789153255\" alt=\"canvas-felsen-im-meer-aus-dem-changdeokgung-palast\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this work, Kim Gyu-jin combined traditional Korean painting traditions with the new influences of modernity. The realistic depiction of the landscape represents \u003cstrong\u003erealistic landscape painting (실경산수화, Silgyeong Sansuhwa)\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper weight: 260–350 g\/m²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 101 × 152 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper thickness: 0.34 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoated front side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaw product materials sourced from the USA, Sweden, Brazil, or China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gogung.go.kr\/\" title=\"gogung.go.kr\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/0295\/2748\/files\/gogung_museum_korean.png?v=1786996126\" alt=\"gogung_museum_korean\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/0295\/2748\/files\/mural-changdeok-gogung-artlia-1.jpg?v=1789153256\" alt=\"canvas-felsen-im-meer-aus-dem-changdeokgung-palast\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Palace Museum of Korea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53359236776203,"sku":"4993790_11513","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/0295\/2748\/files\/standard-postcard-4x6-front-6aa59938cc2ef.jpg?v=1789237582","url":"https:\/\/artlia.net\/products\/postkarte-felsen-im-meer-aus-dem-changdeokgung-palast","provider":"ARTLIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
