Chaekgeori with The Crowns of the king of the Silla Dynasty (1 of 1)

Silla : The Spelendid Golden Kingdom! The Crowns of the king of the Silla Dynasty are in a traditional Korean bookcase. The Silla crown is notably distinct from the crown of Baekje, the crown of Gaya, and the crown of Goguryeo kingdoms. I tried to express the communication of the old kingdoms of Korea by combining relics of Silla, a country that was strong from the 1st century B.C. to the 10th century A.D., with still life paintings popular during the Joseon Dynasty in the 18th century. Chaekgeori ; Painting of Books and Scholars’ Accouterments, was popular from the late 18th century to the early 20th century and was enjoyed by people from all walks of life from kings to the common people, showing the culture of Joseon, where books and learning were important. It is a picture that reflects their desire to cherish books and keep them close all the time. Materials containing auspicious meanings were placed with books, adding the meaning of wishing for happiness.

Chaekgeori; Painting of Books and Scholars’ Accouterments, was popular from the late 18th century to the early 20th century and was enjoyed by people from all walks of life from kings to the common people, showing the culture of Joseon, where books and learning were important. ‘Chaekgeori’ or ‘Chaekgado’ designates still-life paintings that depict mostly books and other associated objects such as decorative bibelots, antiques, stationery items, and flowers. It is a picture that reflects their desire to cherish books and keep them close all the time.

Chaekgado refers to paintings that feature bookshelves, while chaekgeori is used to refer to paintings that only portray books and other items without the shelves. However, when referring to both forms of painting collectively they are called [Chaekgeori].

I want to show a new modern chaekgeori with various cultures in this Korean art genre.
