Fifty-six artists
Fifty-six artists is a Joseon dynasty painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This eight-panel screen folds out to show ink-and-silk views of Iga Ueno and the literati who lived there in the early 1800s. Ink blends with soft color on silk to map gardens, pavilions, and scholars under pines, each panel a quiet snapshot of place and people. The work’s title, Paintings and Calligraphy by Literati of Iga Ueno, names both the scene and the makers gathered around it.
Peer closer to spot inked poems tucked beside painted pines, every brushstroke locks a moment in place. Open the next tile to stand inside Iga Ueno’s 19th-century world.
