Summer Night, 1784. Creator: Maruyama Okyo (Japanese, 1733-1795)
Summer Night, 1784. Okyo painted these panoramas in the summer of 1784. Regarded as Kyotos most important painting teacher and accomplished artist, he had studied Western painting techniques, " realistic" sketching from nature, and traditional Japanese style painting (yamato-e). The naturalistic quality of these scenes results from a blend of detailed observation of nature and a remote, even detached regard for mans place in the world
