About the Item

Hatsune Riding Grounds, Bakuro-cho is a modern artwork realized in the mid-20th century after Utagawa Hiroshige. Mixed colored lithograph after a woodcut realized by Utagawa Hiroshige in 1857 and from the series "Meisho Edo Hyakkei" ("One Hundred Famous Views of Edo"). Good conditions. Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige (Edo, 1797-1858), was an iconic master of wood-block prints became famous thanks to his extraordinary landscape paintings. Student of Utagawa Toyohiro (ca. 1773-1829), Hiroshige studied the Western style introduced by the founder of the Utagawa school Toyoharu (1735-1814). Together with Hokusai , he is considered one of the leading Japanese landscape painters of the nineteenth century and one of the most famous representatives of the Ukiyo-e art movement . With an immense artistic production that counts more than 400 engravings of actors, warriors, courtesans, and above all naturalistic landscapes, Hiroshige placed at the center of his research the contemplation of nature and its representation in a morphologically harmonic key: the human feeling linked to religion whilst listening to nature and to the breath of the cosmos. His most famous series is The 100 Famous Edo Views . Hiroshige extraordinarily influenced European painting of the late nineteenth century, especially Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, including artists like Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh.
