EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The monkey bridge in the Kai province" from Hiroshige's renowned series, Rokuju-yoshu Meisho zue (Famous Places from the 60 and Other Provinces). The colour woodblock print measures 32.8x22 cm and is currently housed in the Musee Claude Monet in Giverny, France. In this picturesque scene, Hiroshige masterfully captures a serene river landscape adorned with lush trees and towering cliffs. The focal point of the composition is a charming wooden bridge known as the monkey bridge, which gracefully arches over the tranquil waters below. Its name derives from its narrowness resembling a monkey's stride. The artist's signature ukiyo-e style shines through in this piece, showcasing his ability to depict everyday life scenes with great detail and beauty. The Edo period influence is evident in his use of vibrant colors that add depth and vibrancy to the artwork. This particular print holds historical significance as it was once part of Claude Monet's private collection. As one of history's most celebrated impressionist painters himself, Monet recognized Hiroshige's talent and acquired this exquisite piece for his personal enjoyment. "The Monkey Bridge in the Kai Province" serves as a testament to Hiroshige's artistic prowess and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm.
