Yi Myŏnggi

In this Korean name, the family name is Yi.

Yi Myŏnggi (Korean: 이명기) was a courtesy painter of Joseon.[1] He was a full-time painter during the 18th century, of which records can be found: Yi was named as the courtesy painter in 1791. He was one of the most famed portrait painters during the reign of King Jeongjo, circa the late 18th century.[2] Although he was renowned for the portraits, shan shui paintings heavily dealt with Kim Hongdo's characteristics in terms of shaping rocks, figures and calligraphy.[1]

Several paintings are found in National Museum of Korea and Hoam Art Museum, one of the oldest private museums in Seoul.
