Chang Tŭngman (Korean장득만; 1684–1764), also known as Jang Deuk-man, was an 18th-century Korean court painter who worked within the Tohwasŏ (Royal Bureau of Painting).[1]

Chang was a member of the Indong Chang clan, which is associated with painting as a profession.[2] He was the father of court painter Chang Kyŏngju.[3]

Notable works

Chang's works included portraits of King Sukjong in 1713, King Sejo (1417–1468; reigned 1455–1468) in 1735 and King Yeongjo in 1748.[4]

Along with several other artists, his work is included in an album of Narrative Figure Paintings which depicts ancient Chinese tales at the National Museum of Korea.[5] He worked collaboratively with other painters on the ink and colour on silk painting King's Visit to Yeongsugak Pavilion, which is also in the museum.[6]

In 2000, a 20th-century copy of one of his paintings was stolen and taken to Japan, then later recovered and returned to its owners in 2018.[7]
