(2) Kim Tuk-sin [ho Hongwolhon, Kungche]
(b Kaesong, Kyonggi Province, 1754; d 1822). Nephew of (1) Kim Ung-hwan. He became a member of the Bureau of Painting (Tohwaso) at the age of 20. In 1791, along with Kim Hong-do (see KIM (iv), (1)), Yi Myong-gi and Sin Han-p’yong, he was selected as an imperial painter and painted the royal portrait of King Chongjo. As a result of this he was appointed to a military post in Hwanghae Province. He was skilled in landscape paintings in the style of the Southern school, portraits and bird-and-flower paintings but is best known for his genre paintings. His work shows the influence of Kim Hong-do, consisting mainly of scenes from the everyday life of ordinary people. He, Kim Hong-do and Sin Yun-bok were regarded as the three masters of Korean genre painting. Breaking the Quietude (album leaf, ink and light colours on paper, 280*225 mm; Seoul, Cent. Stud. Kor. A., Kansong A. Mus.), in which an old couple and a mother hen drive away a cat from chicks, is one of his most accomplished genre paintings. Other examples of his work are A Blacksmith’s Shop (Seoul, Cent. Stud. Kor. A., Kansong A. Mus.) and an eight-panelled folding screen of genre paintings (1815; Seoul, Ho-am A. Mus.).
