A Review on the Researches of Korean Art History during 2013~2014

During 2013–2014, Korean art history research expanded its scope and methodology, particularly focusing on Joseon Dynasty arts, including the Royal Tombs of the Joseon Dynasty. Studies increasingly emphasized Confucian rituals and their influence on royal practices, while Buddhist arts post-dating major conflicts like the Japanese Invasion (1592) and Manchu War (1636) were also examined. A shift toward visual culture analysis marked a departure from traditional iconology and stylistic methods, reflecting broader methodological developments in art history. This period saw Korean art history extending beyond academic boundaries, though its evolution remains ongoing.
