Utagawa Hiroshige

Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge and Atake

US$ 462.00

Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge and Atake catches six figures hurrying across a bridge over the Sumida River as a summer downpour breaks over them, sheltering under hats, mats and umbrellas while a lone boatman drifts below. The rain is cut as fine crossing lines set at different angles, and the black storm cloud above was graded by hand in a scalloped shape rather than the usual straight band. This reproduction brings that sudden, drenching moment into your space.

Artist

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858) was the last great master of the ukiyo-e woodblock tradition, producing more than eight thousand designs across a long career. He is remembered above all for two landscape series, The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido and One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, from which this print comes — the final set he completed before his death. His steep viewpoints, cropped foregrounds and flat planes of colour reached Europe in the 1860s and reshaped Western painting; Van Gogh copied this very design in oil.
