Ancestral Tomb at Hwaseong, 1795-02-11 Special Civil and Military Service Examinations, 1795-02-11 Banquet in Honor of the King's Mother at Bongsu Hall, 1795-02-13 Feast for the Elders at Nangnam Pavilion, 1795-02-14 Nighttime Military Exercises at Seojangdae, 1795-02-12 King Shooting Arrows at Deukjung Pavilion, 1795-02-14 Procession Returning to the Detached Palace, 1795-02-15 Procession Crossing the Han River over a Pontoon Bridge at Noryangjin, 1795-02-16 A scene like the banquet held at Bongsudang Hall closely resembles the traditional composition of paintings at that time. However, the composition of the scene depicting the procession returning to the Royal Palace is in the shape of a ‘之’, which is characteristic of the lifetime paintings of famous court painter Kim Hongdo. The last scene depicting the procession crossing the Hangang River over a pontoon bridge reveals a unique composition, which is rarely witnessed in paintings of royal processions at that time. According to palace records, Lady Hyegyeong, the King's mother, was so pleased to be presented with a screen of such magnificent scale and stunning precision that she rewarded each of the seven artists who participated in its production. The artists were Choe Deuk-hyeon, Kim Deuk-sin, Yi Myeong-gyu, Jang Han-jong (1768 - 1815), Yun Seok-keun, Heo Sik (1762 - ?) and Yi In-mun. A comparison between these panels and a military map of the Fortress is interesting: the focus of the court painters seems more directed towards literati concerns (e.g.: where is Yongyeon and how to access this pond through Buknam-ammun ?) than towards military concerns (e.g. Dongjangdae has disappeared). One can also think about some kind of military 'non-disclosure' clause.
