Grapevine and Squirrels
Not on view
The subject of grapevines was popular among literati painters throughout the Joseon period. Those who won fame for their representations of grapevines include female artist Shin Saimdang (1504–1551) and literati artists Hwang Jip–jung (b.1533), and Hong Suju (1642–1704). While earlier paintings of the subject are mostly in the form of album leaves, ink paintings of grapes from the nineteenth century are usually larger in format, such as hanging scrolls and folding screens.Squirrels are occasionally depicted on the branches of the vine, as in this example.
