Painting Description
"Meisho Edo Hyakkei" (名所江戸百景), translated as "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," is a renowned series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints created by the Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige. This series, produced between 1856 and 1858, is celebrated for its vivid and poetic portrayal of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), capturing the essence of the city during the late Edo period. Hiroshige, a master of landscape prints, meticulously depicted various famous locations, seasonal changes, and daily life in Edo, offering a comprehensive visual documentation of the city’s cultural and natural beauty.
The series consists of 118 prints, each illustrating a specific site in Edo, ranging from bustling urban centers and serene rural landscapes to sacred temples and scenic riversides. Hiroshige's innovative use of perspective, vibrant colors, and dynamic compositions brought a fresh and captivating view of these locales, influencing both contemporary and future generations of artists, including the Impressionists in Europe.
"Meisho Edo Hyakkei" is not only an artistic achievement but also a historical record, providing insights into the urban development, architecture, and social life of Edo during the mid-19th century. The prints reflect the changing seasons and times of day, showcasing Hiroshige's keen observation skills and his ability to evoke mood and atmosphere. Each print is accompanied by a brief description or poem, enhancing the viewer's understanding and appreciation of the scene depicted.
Hiroshige's work on this series was completed shortly before his death in 1858, marking it as one of his final and most significant contributions to the ukiyo-e genre. "Meisho Edo Hyakkei" remains a treasured collection, celebrated for its artistic excellence and historical significance, and continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars worldwide.
