CHINESE PORCELAIN

Porcelain ceramics, often simply referred to as china, immediately conjure up notions of a Chinese aesthetic and artisanal tradition, and nothing seems more quintessentially Chinese than the blue and white patterns that decorate so many porcelain wares’ surfaces. 

What is undisputedly Chinese is the origin of porcelain itself. It is created by firing clay at extremely high temperatures, between 1200—1400 degrees Celsius. This process creates an exceptionally hard and shiny ceramic ware that is able to hold water, unlike other porous clay wares.

painting depicts Sin Sukju (1417-75) as a “meritorious subject,” or an official honored for his distinguished service at court and loyalty to the king

This painting shows Sin Sukju dressed in his official robes with a black silk hat on his head

Although portraiture conventions, such as the attire and posture of the sitter, were quite formulaic, the facial features were painted with the goal of transmitting a sense of unique, physical likeness. This careful attention to the sitter’s face, such as wrinkles and bone structure, served the Korean belief that the face could reveal important clues about the subject

Skilled in capturing the likeness of the sitter while still adhering to pictorial conventions, artists in the Royal Bureau of Painting (a government agency staffed with artists) created portraits of officials awarded this honorary title. These paintings would be cherished by their families and worshipped for generations to follow
