Fish and Rock; Fish and Seaweed is a 1536 unspecified by Rinkyo, a Renaissance work, depicting Momoyama Period, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two simple scenes on light-colored paper. On the left, a fish swims near a dark, jagged rock with a few bubbles around it. On the right, another fish hides near tangled seaweed in shallow water. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes to show movement in the water. The fish look almost alive, especially the one on the left, which seems to dart past the rock. Look up the momoyama period next to see how this style fits into Japanese art.
