EDITORS COMMENTS
Cockerel and Hen" is a stunning polychrome woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Maruyama Okyo, created during the 1770s in the heart of the Edo period. This exquisite work of art is a testament to Okyo's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, which captures the beauty and essence of everyday life in Japan. The print depicts a cockerel (rooster) and a hen in the midst of their natural behavior, with the cockerel fiercely pecking at the hen. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, making it a feast for the eyes. The cockerel's fiery red feathers and sharp, focused gaze convey a sense of energy and determination, while the hen's soft, earthy tones and submissive posture evoke a sense of calm and tranquility. Okyo's use of shading and perspective adds depth and texture to the print, making the birds appear as if they are jumping off the page. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the individual feathers on the birds' bodies, as well as the textured background that adds context to the scene. This print is a beautiful example of the naturalistic style that was popular during the Edo period in Japan. It captures the essence of the natural world and the animals that inhabited it, making it a valuable addition to any collection of Japanese art. The print's age and rarity only add to its allure, making it a prized possession for collectors and art enthusiasts alike. Maruyama Okyo was a leading figure in the Japanese art world during the late 18th century, and his works are highly sought after by collectors and museums around the world. This print, with its intricate details, vibrant colors, and stunning depiction of nature, is a testament to Okyo's artistic genius and his enduring influence on Japanese art.
