Entdecken Sie Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), den letzten großen Meister der japanischen Ukiyo-e! Seine Landschaftsdrucke & Einfluss auf den Impressionismus.
In his prints, Hiroshige used the unprinted white paper to represent snow, a technique also exploited in this painting, in which unpainted silk, reserved against the pale ink wash, suggests the snow-covered areas. Slightly bleeding ink creates the impression of fluffy snow, and snowflakes were rendered with splashes of opaque white pigment. By contrast, the figure"s partially revealed red undergarment intensifies the white.Hiroshige"s early works, of the mid-to late 1820s, depict slouching, long-faced women, while his later works present tall beauties in landscape settings, as in this scroll, made in the 1840s or early 1850s.
