Painting Description
"Szene Aus Dem Genji Monogatari" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865), also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III. Kunisada was one of the most prolific and popular designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in the 19th century, and his works are celebrated for their vibrant colors, intricate details, and dynamic compositions.
The title "Szene Aus Dem Genji Monogatari" translates to "Scene from The Tale of Genji," referencing the classic Japanese literary work "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Monogatari) written by Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century. This literary masterpiece is often regarded as the world's first novel and provides a detailed depiction of court life in the Heian period (794–1185). The story revolves around the life and loves of Hikaru Genji, a nobleman, and his descendants.
Kunisada's print captures a specific moment from this epic tale, showcasing his ability to convey the elegance and sophistication of the Heian court. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the elaborate costumes, intricate patterns, and expressive faces of the characters. Kunisada's use of color and composition not only brings the scene to life but also reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the Edo period (1603–1868), during which he worked.
This particular work is part of Kunisada's larger series of prints inspired by "The Tale of Genji," which was a popular subject among ukiyo-e artists. These prints were highly sought after by contemporary audiences and continue to be appreciated by collectors and scholars for their artistic and historical significance. Kunisada's interpretation of "The Tale of Genji" offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and artistic milieu of 19th-century Japan, bridging the worlds of classical literature and visual art.
