EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures Heungseon Daewongun, the influential father of King Gojong of Korea, in all his regal glory. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the historical significance and rich cultural heritage of Korea. Heungseon Daewongun (1820-1899) was not only a father to King Gojong but also served as a regent during his son's early years on the throne. This portrait exudes power and authority as he dons traditional Korean costume and an elaborate headdress that symbolizes his high rank within the monarchy. The late 19th century marked a crucial period in Korean history, with rapid changes taking place both domestically and internationally. Heungseon Daewongun played a pivotal role in navigating these turbulent times, ensuring stability for his son's reign amidst political challenges. Through this lithograph, we catch a glimpse into the life of one of Korea's most prominent figures. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight not only Heungseon Daewongun's physical appearance but also provide insight into Korean fashion and aesthetics during that era. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of Korea's rich past and its enduring legacy. It is through such historical artifacts that we can appreciate and understand the complexities of Asian history while celebrating its vibrant culture.
