1836
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Evening Snow at Uchikawa, from the series Eight Views of Kanazawa is a 1836 by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Snow, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This serene painting shows a snowy village at dusk. Two people trudge through the snow, carrying bundles on their backs. They're walking down a hill, toward a cluster of houses with snow-covered roofs. In the distance, a body of water reflects the darkening sky, with mountains rising up beyond it. The scene is rendered in muted colors, with touches of blue in the water and sky. A few trees stand out against the snowy backdrop, their branches bare and etched against the sky. The overall mood is one of quiet contemplation, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a hidden world. To explore more works in this style, check out the Romanticism movement.
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.
