Banchado of King Jeongjo is a painting of the Joseon Dynasty's King Jeongjo's 8-day royal procession to Hwaseong to visit his father's thumb to celebrate his mother's 60th birthday. Visitors to the Cheonggyecheon will be able to appreciate this Banchado as a tile wall painting, comprising of 5,120 pieces of ceramic tiles (each the size of W-30cm and H-30 cm). The original Banchado is comprised of a total of 60 pages describing the march of 1,779 figures and 779 horses, and was co-developed with Kim Deuksin, Lee Inmun, Jang Hanjong, and Lee Myeonggyo under the direction of Kim Hong-do, then the great painter. It retains its significance as an item of high cultural artistry. |
