EDITORS COMMENTS
Snow on the Kiso Gorge, Shinshu Province" is a stunning color woodblock print from the series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces" created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859. This breathtaking work of art showcases the winter scene of the Kiso Gorge in the Shinshu Province of Japan. The narrow gorge is depicted with a thick blanket of snow covering its steep sides, turning the usually vibrant landscape into a serene and tranquil winter wonderland. The Kiso River, which runs through the gorge, is frozen, and the path leading through the snowy landscape is barely visible. The print is a masterpiece of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, known for its distinctive style and focus on the beauty of the natural world. The cartouche at the bottom right of the print bears the title "Shinshu Kiso no yuki" (Snow on the Kiso Gorge, Shinshu Province), and the artist's signature, "Ni daime Utagawa Hiroshige," is inscribed at the bottom left. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo and Tokugawa periods. The scene is a popular tourist attraction even today, with visitors flocking to the Kiso Valley during the winter months to witness the breathtaking snow-covered landscape. The print is a reminder of the enduring beauty of nature and the skill of the artist in capturing its essence. The use of color and the intricate details in the print make it a must-have for any art enthusiast or collector of Asian art. This print is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, which holds an extensive collection of Asian art, including works from various continents and countries, spanning different centuries and artistic schools. The Art Institute of Chicago is a leading art museum and research center, dedicated to preserving and sharing the world's art with the public.
