Moon over Sumida River - A Serene Night in Edo
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodcut print, created by the renowned artist Ando Hiroshige between 1844 and 1858, transports us to a tranquil evening in old Edo. The artwork measures 23.4 x 35.4 cm and showcases Hiroshige's mastery of color and composition. In this scene, a full moon casts its ethereal glow upon the Sumida River, illuminating the bustling cityscape that surrounds it. Pedestrians gracefully traverse a bridge over an inlet while boats gently glide through the calm waters below. Traditional Japanese buildings stand nearby, their silhouettes adding depth to the picturesque landscape. Hiroshige's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures both natural elements and human activity within this harmonious setting. The distant mountains provide a majestic backdrop against which all other elements are juxtaposed. The artist's use of vibrant colors adds vibrancy to the night sky, enhancing the dreamlike quality of this scene. With each stroke of his brush or carving on woodblock, Hiroshige creates an atmosphere that invites contemplation and tranquility. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to experience a moment of serenity amidst the bustling metropolis of Edo—a testament to Ando Hiroshige's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists.
