Catalogue Description: Calligraphy. Poem, consisting of three short lines written in large, free-hand script on linen or silk. Text of the poem to be translated. Yun Sun served as Minister of the Bureau of Rites. He was one of the most important calligraphers of the Joseon period, often compared in Korea to the great Chinese calligraphers. He and his primary pupil, Yi Gwang-sa, dominated the calligraphy practice of the first half of the 18th century. He strove to emulate the style of Chinese calligrapher Wang Xizhi (321-379), which he learned through printed copies.
