About the Item
Japanese Floral Meadow on Golden Backdrop: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
This vibrant lithograph from the 1880s features a lively arrangement of flowers and grasses, beautifully set against a shimmering golden background that evokes a sense of timeless elegance. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the masterful Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this artwork was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist renowned for his ability to merge Western printing techniques with the refined artistry of Japanese design.
The composition is a harmonious celebration of nature, with a rich variety of stylized blooms in bright reds, blues, greens, and whites, interspersed with slender, graceful blades of grass and delicate seed heads. Above, scattered red and blue cloud motifs hover playfully, adding a dynamic element typical of Japanese design sensibilities. The contrast between the deep, jewel-like colors of the flowers and the warm, golden backdrop creates a visually captivating scene that captures the fleeting beauty of a meadow in bloom.
This lithograph is part of a distinguished portfolio that introduced European audiences to the refined beauty and symbolic richness of Japanese decorative arts during the height of the Japonisme movement. The intricate details and balanced composition highlight Audsley’s admiration for Japanese aesthetics and his skill in bringing them to a Western audience. This print would be a stunning addition to any collection of Japanese art, antique prints, or those who appreciate the cross-cultural fusion that defined the art world of the late 19th century.
