雪月花 阿波鳴門之風景|Rapids at Naruto is a 1857 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting Mountain, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a seascape with waves and a mountain range in the background. The waves are white and foamy, with some rocks visible in the water. In the distance, there are mountains with greenery on them. The painting is done in a style that emphasizes realism, with attention to detail in the depiction of the waves and the mountains. The use of color is muted, with shades of blue and green dominating the palette. The painting is reminiscent of the work of Utagawa Hiroshige, a Japanese artist known for his landscapes.
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.
