Life and legacy
Born in Pyeongsan, he was attached to the embassy sent to China in 18131. He met Feng Fangkang (1733–1818), an authority in inscriptions on stone and bronze. Following the death of Crown Prince Hyomyeong in 1830, he was sent to exile, but later recalled. He was a progressive thinker, involved in the Sirhak movement. His painting shows the influence of his teacher Kang Sehwang (1713–1791), and he was also a follower of Yun Sun (1680–1741). He was well-renowned as a painter of bamboo.
