Sin Yun-bok

Sin Yunbok (Korean: 신윤복; 1758–1813), better known by his art name Hyewŏn, was a Korean painter of the Joseon period. Like his contemporaries Kim Hongdo and Kim Tŭksin, he is known for his realistic depictions of daily life in his time. His genre paintings are distinctly more erotic than Kim Hongdo's, a fact which contributed to his expulsion from the royal painting institute, Tohwasŏ. Painting was frequently a hereditary occupation in the Joseon period, and Sin's father and grandfather had both been court painters. Read more on Wikipedia
