Reverberations of Taiga, Volume 2 (leaf 13) is a 1704 by Aoki Shukuya, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows rocks, trees, and mountains in a simple style. It was created by Aoki Shukuya, a Japanese artist. Shukuya was a pupil of Ikeno Taiga, and you can see Taiga's influence in these sketches, which were likely used to practice ink and brush techniques, like the way the trees are drawn with bold lines. Shukuya probably made these sketches to learn from his master, Ikeno Taiga. This was a common way for young artists to learn in Japan at the time. They would copy their master's work to get better at using ink and brushes. Check out the work of Ikeno Taiga to see more of this style.
Traditionally, young painters in Japan began their studies with an established master-painter. The master's compositions invariably became models that the apprentice copied to learn various ink and brush techniques. Shukuya was a pupil of the famous Kyoto artist Ikeno Taiga, whose style is reflected in these sketches of rocks, trees, and mountains.
