江戸名所四十八景 神田明神|Kanda Temple Snow is a 1861 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Human Figure, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print, titled Kanda Temple Snow, presents a serene winter scene. In the foreground, a large pine tree stands tall, covered in snow. To the left, a red building with a white roof is visible, while a stone statue of a lion or dog sits in front of it. Three figures, dressed in blue, walk in the snow, each carrying an umbrella. The background features a blue sky dotted with snowflakes, with a few trees and a fence visible. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and tranquility in the scene. The snow-covered pine tree serves as a focal point, drawing the viewer's eye to the center of the image. For more works featuring serene winter landscapes, explore the Impressionism 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.
