Shin Yun-bok; better known by his pen name Hyewon; (born 1758) was a Korean painter of the Joseon Dynasty. Like his contemporaries Danwon and Geungjae; he is known for his realistic depictions of daily life in his time. His genre paintings are distinctly more erotic than Danwon's; a fact which contributed to his expulsion from the royal painting institute; Dohwaseo.
Painting was frequently a hereditary occupation in the Joseon period; and Hyewon's father and grandfather had both been court painters. Together with Danwon and the later painter Owon; Hyewon is remembered today as one of the 鈥楾hree Wons' of Joseon-period painting. Shin Yun-bok; despite being greatly influenced and overshadowed by Kim Hong-do during his career; developed his own unique technique and artistry. Whereas Kim depicted everyday life of peasants with a humorous touch; Shin showed glimpses of eroticism in his paintings of townspeople and gisaeng (courtesan).
His choice of characters; composition; and painting method differed from Kim's; with use of bright colors and delicate paint strokes. He also painted scenes of shamanism and townlife; offering insight to lifestyle and costumes of the late Joseon era. Pictures From History
