Description
A modern color woodblock print on paper titled "Evening Snow at Kanbara (from the iconic Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido series)" by Utagawa Hiroshige. This example is a later impression, originally created in 1933 and 1934. The composition captures the quiet beauty of a snow-covered village, with travelers making their way along a winding road under softly falling snow. Delicate gradations of gray and white evoke the crisp stillness of winter, while fine linework and subtle color accents exemplify the craftsmanship of 20th-century printmakers working in the tradition of Hiroshige's 19th-century ukiyo-e masterworks. It showcases the timeless charm of Edo-period imagery. From a private collection. Dimensions: 10.5"h x 15.75"w (unframed) / 15.75"h x 20.25"w x .25"d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request.
Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) is celebrated as one of Japan's greatest ukiyo-e masters and a leading landscape artist of the Edo period. Renowned for his poetic compositions and innovative use of color and perspective, he gained international acclaim for series such as The Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido and One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. Hiroshige's works were highly influential in 19th-century Europe, inspiring Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters including Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and James McNeill Whistler. Today, his prints are held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Tokyo National Museum, solidifying his legacy as a pivotal figure in art history.
