Relic
In 1751, the esteemed artist Jeong Seon (1676–1759), who was seventy-five years old, painted his masterpiece Clearing after Rain on Mount Inwang (仁王霽色圖), which shows the majestic mountain shrouded in mist after rainfall. Moving ahead 270 years to April 2021, the treasured painting was donated to the National Museum of Korea by the family of the late Lee Kun-Hee (1942–2020), chairman of Samsung, so that it could finally receive the recognition that it so richly deserves.
