Calligraphy and Painting
Yi Yeong-ik was the brother of Yi Geung-ik (1736–1806), who wrote Yeolleoshil-gisul (練藜室記述, Thoughts of Yeolleoshil), and the second son of Yi Gwang-sa (1705–1777). Although outstanding in both calligraphy and the composition of prose, Yi Yeong-ik did not enjoy longevity.
Yi Gwang-sa himself acknowledged that ″only Yi Yeong-ik can produce the same script as me″, and the writing style of Yi Yeong-ik was similar to that of his father. This calligraphy album is a valuable resource for the comparison of the writings of both the father and the son. It is observed that the script of Yi Yeong-ik is very similar to the regular style writing of Yi Gwang-sa in terms of its overall shape and brushstrokes.
