"Along the Riverbank: Two Views" is a pair of woodblock prints from the series "60 Odd Famous Views of the Provinces" by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Andō Hiroshige. Created in the mid-19th century, this series is a collection of landscapes depicting various provinces of Japan, showcasing Hiroshige's mastery of capturing the essence of each location with a poetic and evocative style.

The "60 Odd Famous Views of the Provinces" series, which actually comprises 69 prints, was produced between 1853 and 1856. It is considered one of Hiroshige's last major works before his death in 1858. The series reflects a shift in the artist's style towards a more atmospheric and lyrical approach, influenced by his travels and the changing tastes of the Edo period's urban population.

"Along the Riverbank: Two Views" specifically highlights two separate locations along a river's edge, each offering a unique perspective and mood. These prints are characterized by Hiroshige's use of bold composition, refined color palettes, and an ability to convey the transient beauty of nature. The artist's skill in portraying water, reflections, and the interplay of light and shadow is evident in these works.

As with many of Hiroshige's landscapes, "Along the Riverbank: Two Views" would have appealed to the Edo populace's sense of nostalgia and longing for travel during a time when strict travel restrictions were in place. The prints served as a form of virtual tourism, allowing viewers to experience the beauty of Japan's provinces from the comfort of their own homes.

The "60 Odd Famous Views of the Provinces" series, including "Along the Riverbank: Two Views," is highly regarded for its artistic significance and contribution to the ukiyo-e genre. Hiroshige's work has had a lasting impact on the development of landscape art in Japan and has influenced artists around the world, including the Impressionists in Europe. Today, these prints are considered important cultural artifacts and are held in various art collections, museums, and galleries worldwide.
