"These paintings were made by an unknown artist using fine-line brushstrokes and washes of ink on cotton canvas, meticulously identifying 40 sites in the mountain range by name."
"The set was originally a ten-panel folding screen but was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2020 in ten separate scrolls."
"The Overseas Korean Cultural Heritage Foundation, with support from the Samsung Foundation of Culture, intends to restore the work to its original format at the Leeum Museum of Art."
