From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Black-Naped Oriole (Korean Warbler) on a Hall Crabapple is a 1834 by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a small bird perched on a thin branch. The bird has brown and white feathers, a pinkish face, and a black patch on its neck. Around it, there are green leaves and pink flowers with yellow centers. The background is a light, neutral color that makes the bird and flowers stand out. The bird is named a Black-Naped Oriole, and the flowers are hall crabapples. The artist wrote their name in Japanese characters at the bottom right. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more of their work.
Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川 広重) or Andō Hiroshige (安藤 広重), born Andō Tokutarō (安藤 徳太郎; 1797 – 12 October 1858), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, considered the last great master of that tradition.
