Untitled is a 1850 ink by Utagawa Hiroshige, a Impressionism work, depicting House, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a snowy landscape under a starry night sky. Trees and bushes are dusted with snow, and a small building sits near the bottom. The mountains in the background are dark and smooth, with a few patches of snow. The artist used simple lines and soft colors to show depth and quiet in the scene. The print looks old, with some fading and small marks on the paper. Next, check out woodblock print to see how artists like this made prints by hand.
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.
