Shibata Zeshin ‘1807-1891’, Barley

About the Item

Medium: Hanging scroll; ink and pigments on silk Signature: Zeshin Seal: Tairyukyo Date: circa 1880 Painting size: 98 x 20 cm Mounts size: 182 x 32 cm Shibata Zeshin was an artist and artisan of superior skill and diversity. He worked as a painter, printmaker and lacquerer. From age sixteen Zeshin studied painting with Suzuki Nanrei, a pupil of Maruyama Okyo, who is celebrated for combining elements of Western naturalism with traditional East Asian brushwork. After nine years with Nanrei, Zeshin moved to Kyoto and spent a further two years with another of Nanrei’s teachers, Okamoto Toyohiko; he would paint in his own version of the Maruyama style for the rest of his life. Zeshin often presented himself as a guardian of old-time cultural norms, but he also participated enthusiastically in the transformation of artistic life that followed the Meiji Restoration.

    Located in Milano, IT
    This painting represents a man waiting under a dark tree. The composition is extremely simple but suggestive.

Painter and designer, Kamisaka Sekka...
