From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Landscape with Ferry Boat, Geese and Full Moon is a 1834 by Totoya Hokkei, a Romanticism work, depicting Fishing, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows men in boats gathering reeds on a lake under a full moon. The scene is peaceful, with geese flying in the sky. It tells us that autumn is in the air, which is a common theme in Japanese art. The use of light and dark creates a nice mood, which is similar to the technique of chiaroscuro.
