Sailing boats, from the series Twelve Views of Edo, 19th century. Creator - Ando Hiroshige
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Ando Hiroshige takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Japan. Entitled "Sailing boats" it is part of his renowned series Twelve Views of Edo, showcasing the artist's mastery in capturing the beauty and tranquility of everyday life. In this particular scene, we are transported to a serene river setting where elegant sailboats gracefully glide across calm waters. The polychrome woodblock print technique employed by Hiroshige brings vibrant colors and intricate details to life on paper. The composition exudes a sense of harmony between man and nature as these traditional vessels navigate through a picturesque landscape. With delicate ink strokes and skillful use of color, Hiroshige captures the essence of ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) art movement that flourished during Japan's Edo period. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the gentle breeze rustling through our hair and hear the rhythmic sound of sails billowing against wind-filled skies. It serves as a reminder not only of Japan's rich artistic heritage but also its deep connection with water transport throughout history. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, this exquisite piece stands as a testament to Ando Hiroshige's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists.
