Painting Description
"Suidō Bridge and Surugadai" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige, also known as Andō Hiroshige. Created in the mid-19th century, this print is part of Hiroshige's famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," which depicts various landscapes and scenes from Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The series, produced between 1856 and 1858, is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest achievements and a pinnacle of the ukiyo-e genre.
The print "Suidō Bridge and Surugadai" captures a picturesque view of the Suidō Bridge, which spanned the Kanda River, with the elevated area of Surugadai in the background. Surugadai was known for its high ground, which offered sweeping views of the city and was a popular spot among residents and visitors for enjoying the scenery. In Hiroshige's depiction, the viewer's perspective is from a vantage point on the bridge itself, looking towards Surugadai. The artist's use of perspective and his ability to capture the atmosphere of the location are evident in the print.
Hiroshige's work is characterized by his masterful use of color and composition, which brings out the beauty of the everyday life and landscapes of Edo. "Suidō Bridge and Surugadai" is no exception, with its detailed portrayal of figures crossing the bridge, the flow of the river beneath, and the urban backdrop contrasted with the natural beauty of the sky and water. The print reflects the transitional period in Japan's history, as the country was opening up to the West and undergoing significant changes.
As with many of Hiroshige's prints, "Suidō Bridge and Surugadai" has been widely reproduced and remains a popular image for those interested in Japanese art and the ukiyo-e tradition. The original prints from "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" are highly sought after by collectors and are held in various museum collections around the world. They continue to influence artists and captivate audiences with their timeless appeal and historical significance.
