東海道五十三次之内 四日市 三重川|Mie River at Yokkaichi is a 1834 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Bridge, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print shows a serene river scene with a winding bridge and a tall tree in the center. The tree's branches are blown to the side by the wind, and a man is seen running along the bridge, holding onto his hat. In the foreground, tall grasses and reeds grow along the riverbank. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of movement and energy in the scene. The blue and green hues of the river and surrounding landscape evoke a sense of calmness, while the wind-blown tree and running man add a sense of dynamism. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is home to many beautiful works of art, including this one.
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.
