朝鮮王朝時代の画家で、号を謙斎（けんさい）といいます。それまで朝鮮の山水画は中国の絵を手本にした想像の景色が多かったのですが、鄭敾は金剛山やソウルの山々を自分の足で歩いて写し、実際の景色を描く「真景山水」を切りひらきました。75歳で描いた《仁王霽色図》は韓国の国宝です。
Jeong Seon was a painter of the Joseon dynasty in Korea. Before him, Korean landscape painting often showed imagined scenes based on Chinese models. Jeong Seon walked through the Diamond Mountains and the hills around Seoul and painted what he saw. He started the 'true-view landscape' style. Clearing after Rain on Mount Inwang, painted when he was 75, is a National Treasure of Korea.
