Mannen Bridge, Fukagawa, 1858
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating polychrome woodblock print created by Ando Hiroshige during the Edo period in Japan. This stunning artwork showcases Hiroshige's mastery of ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese art form that flourished during the 17th to 19th centuries. The scene depicted in this print takes us back to the bustling streets of Fukagawa, where Mannen Bridge stands majestically over the river. The meticulous details and vibrant colors bring life to every element within the composition. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported to a time when boats gracefully sailed along the waterway and people traversed the bridge on their daily journeys. One peculiar aspect of this artwork is Hiroshige's inclusion of reptiles amidst an otherwise serene landscape. A terrapin and tortoise can be seen basking on rocks near the riverbank, adding an unusual touch that sparks curiosity and wonder. Hiroshige's "Mannen Bridge, Fukagawa" is part of his renowned series called "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" which captures various iconic locations throughout Japan's capital city. This particular print exemplifies his ability to merge natural beauty with urban landscapes seamlessly. Today, this masterpiece resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of its heritage art collection. It serves as a testament to Hiroshige's artistic brilliance and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and exquisite craftsmanship
