1840
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Evening Bell at Mii Temple, from the series Eight Views of Omi Province is a 1840 by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet river at dusk. On the left, a mountain looms dark against a pale sky. To the right, a hillside slopes down to the water, lined with pine trees. A small bridge crosses the river near the shore. Look closer: the bridge is nearly empty, and the only light comes from the sky. The artist used flat colors but layered them carefully to show depth. Next, check out Utagawa Hiroshige.
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.
