東海道五十三次 白須賀|Shirasuka is a 1838 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Romanticism work, depicting Landscape, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This woodblock print depicts a serene landscape with a few figures in the foreground. In the center, a large tree with curved branches dominates the scene, surrounded by smaller trees and bushes. A winding path leads to a gazebo, where two men sit, while another man walks along the path carrying a bundle on his back. The print features a range of colors, from the deep blues and greens of the landscape to the warm tones of the gazebo and the figures' clothing. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and tranquility, drawing the viewer's eye through the scene. To explore more works like this, check out the Romanticism movement.
