An Important Imperial children's game playing Battle Dynasty Painting: Korean Chinese capture the flag painting . This painting shows some kind of a game or siege and subsequent regaining of a side. The painting was created as part of some kind of Imperial painting project. Ink and color paint on paper, framed and under glass. NOTE: This impressive painting is depicting a game of commemorative old scenes between children. Korean Chinese painting's were based on the close observation of nature and employed fine detail and color; later they derived from the painting tradition itself and often were rendered in paint and ink. While the primary interest of many artists was to capture the essence or spirit of their subjects.

Korean painting: It includes art as old as the petroglyphs through post-modern conceptual art using transient forms of light. Calligraphy rarely occurs in oil paintings and is dealt with in the brushwork entry, Korean calligraphy.
Generally the history of Korean painting is dated to approximately 108 C.E., when it first appears as an independent form. Between that time and the paintings and frescoes that appear on the Goryeo dynasty tombs, there has been little research. Suffice to say that until the Joseon dynasty the primary influence was Chinese painting though done with Korean landscapes, facial features, Buddhist topics, and an emphasis on celestial observation in keeping with the rapid development of Korean astronomy.
Throughout the history of Korean painting, there has been a constant separation of monochromatic works of black brushwork on very often mulberry paper or silk; and the colourful folk art or min-hwa, ritual arts, tomb paintings, and festival arts which had extensive use of colour.
This distinction was often class-based: scholars, particularly in Confucian art felt that one could see colour in monochromatic paintings within the gradations and felt that the actual use of colour coarsened the paintings, and restricted the imagination. Korean folk art, and painting of architectural frames was seen as brightening certain outside wood frames, and again within the tradition of Chinese architecture, and the early Buddhist influences of profuse rich thalo and primary colours inspired by Art of India.
