Kano Naonobu
Japanese, 1607–1650
Kano Naonobu was a Japanese Kanō school artist. 14 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art. Kano Naonobu was born in Kyoto.
Kanō Naonobu (狩野 尚信, 25 November 1607 – 7 May 1650) was a Japanese painter of the Kanō school of painting during the early Edo period. He was the younger brother of Kanō Tan'yū, with whom he completed a number of prominent commissions for the Tokugawa shogunate. His style differed somewhat from Tan'yū's in his bold use of negative space and his mastery of ink wash painting. Naonobu also used the art name Jitekisai (自適斎).
