EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Coreen Art: Civilian Coreens came from European Catholic missionaries killed by repression during the evangelization in Korea in the 19th century while the gendarmes are drinking alcohol" captures a powerful moment in history. Painted by Thak Hi Seong in 1835, this artwork showcases the resilience and determination of Korean civilians amidst religious persecution. The painting depicts European Catholic missionaries, represented with aureoles as Catholic saints, who were tragically killed during their efforts to spread Christianity in Korea. In stark contrast, gendarmes can be seen casually indulging in alcohol nearby, highlighting societal indifference towards these tragic events. Set against a breathtaking landscape of mountains and prayerful figures, this artwork beautifully conveys both the spiritual significance of missionary work and the harsh realities faced by those involved. The artist's attention to detail and skillful brushwork bring depth and emotion to each figure portrayed. Originally housed at Societe des Missions Etrangeres in Paris, France, this print allows viewers to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals seeking religious freedom and sheds light on an often-overlooked chapter of Korean history. With its rich symbolism and thought-provoking composition, this piece invites contemplation on themes such as faith, cultural exchange, oppression, and resilience. It stands as a testament to art's ability to preserve stories that might otherwise be forgotten or silenced.
