Reverberations of Taiga, Volume 2 (leaf 11) 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 made by Aoki Shukuya, a Japanese artist. The artist learned from a master, which was a common way to study art in Japan, and this shows in the traditional compositions and techniques used. The artist's teacher, Ikeno Taiga, was a famous painter in Kyoto. Shukuya's work reflects Taiga's style, with a focus on natural scenes. This training method helped young artists learn various ink and brush techniques. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Aoki Shukuya (Japanese, d. 1802)
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.
