Kang Hŭian (Korean: 강희안;c. 1417–1464),art name Injae, was a prominent scholar and painter of the earlyJoseon period. He was good at poetry, calligraphy, and painting. He entered royal service by passinggwageo in 1441 under the reign of kingSejong (1397–1418–1450).
Kang Hŭian and his younger brotherKang Hŭimaeng were the sons of Kang Sŏktŏk (1395–1459) and cousins of kingMunjong (1414–1450–1452), kingSejo (1417 –1455–1468) andPrince Anpyeong 이용 안평대군 (1418–1453), that were the first three sons of king Sejong.
Nevertheless, the year of birth of Kang Hŭian is unclear. Part of the references say 1417,[1][2][3][4][5] part of them say 1419[6][7][8]... None of these sources ever mention this discrepancy.Britannica[4] specifies the more precise 1417(태종 17)~1464(세조 10).
The Korean Copyright Commission[7] lists five paintings for Kang Hŭian, while Towooart[1] gives a short notice.
