東海道五十三次 京 三条大橋図|Kyoto: Sanju Ohashi no zu. is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a long bridge over calm water, with people walking in both directions. On one side, there’s a row of buildings with tiled roofs, and on the other, a quiet river. In the background, a large mountain rises above the scene, with soft blue and pink sky above it. The tiny figures on the bridge are dressed in simple, colorful clothes—some carry umbrellas. The artist used flat colors and clean lines to keep everything balanced. Next, look up Utagawa Hiroshige to see more prints like this.
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.
