Teacher and Pupils

By Kim Hong-do


Kim Hong-do's "Teacher and Pupils," from the Joseon dynasty's most famous artist, shows a group of young boys gathered around their teacher in a traditional village classroom. Each boy displays unique expressions, ranging from curiosity to boredom. Rather than presenting a rigid or idealized view of Confucian education, Kim infused the work with humor and realism, portraying the pupils as lively and imperfect.

The painting was submitted as part of a royal art contest during the reign of King Jeongjo, who actively promoted scholarly and artistic achievements. It earned Kim a place among the court painters of the Dohwaseo, the official bureau of painting. Like many of Kim's works, "Teacher and Pupils" blends satire with sincerity, revealing much about the daily life and social customs of late 18th-century Korea.
