東海道五十三次 亀山|Kameyama is a 1840 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet road scene with a group of travelers walking near a river. Tall pine trees line the path, and a bridge arches over the water in the background. The sky is pale, while the trees and rocks are painted in deep blues and greens. Notice how the artist uses simple shapes and bold outlines to create depth. The travelers look small compared to the big landscape around them. Look up Utagawa Hiroshige next to see more of his 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.
