Painting Description
"Genji En Promenade Sous La Pleine Lune" is a captivating woodblock print created by Utagawa Yoshiiku, a prominent Japanese artist of the late Edo period. Yoshiiku, born in 1833 and originally named Notoya Yosaku, was a disciple of the renowned Utagawa Kuniyoshi. He is celebrated for his contributions to ukiyo-e, a genre of art that flourished in Japan from the 17th to the 19th centuries, which typically depicted scenes of kabuki actors, beautiful women, landscapes, and tales from history and folklore.
This particular work, "Genji En Promenade Sous La Pleine Lune," translates to "Genji on a Stroll Under the Full Moon," and it draws inspiration from the classic Japanese literary work, "The Tale of Genji" (Genji Monogatari), written by Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century. The tale is often regarded as the world's first novel and follows the life and loves of Hikaru Genji, a nobleman during the Heian period.
Yoshiiku's print captures the ethereal beauty and romantic ambiance of a moonlit night, a common theme in Japanese art that symbolizes both the fleeting nature of beauty and the depth of human emotions. The composition typically features Genji, elegantly dressed in traditional Heian-period attire, strolling amidst a serene landscape bathed in the soft glow of the full moon. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, along with meticulous attention to detail, showcases Yoshiiku's mastery in woodblock printing.
The work is a testament to Yoshiiku's ability to blend narrative and visual artistry, creating a piece that not only pays homage to a literary masterpiece but also stands as a significant example of the ukiyo-e tradition. Through "Genji En Promenade Sous La Pleine Lune," Yoshiiku invites viewers to step into a world of poetic beauty and timeless elegance, reflecting the cultural and artistic values of his era.
