Chaekgeori. Korean, Joseon dynasty (1392-1910), 19th CE. Detail of panel g. Chaekkori ("painting[s] of books and associated things") are Korean still-life paintings that were popular during the latter part of the Joseon dynasty. Three-dimensional effects were commonly used, as was reversed perspective, in which distant objects are shown larger than those nearby, thus flattening the pictorial surface. scholarly tools are depicted along with flowers, plants, food, exotic imported objects, and religious implements. These motifs express varied meanings; for example, eggplant represents the promise of a long life, while musical instruments symbolize harmony among people. Ink and color on paper mounted on silk brocade with wooden frame, 162.5 x 415.2 cm (63 31/32 x 163 5/8 in.). Wirt D. Walker Fund, 2006.3.
