Collection: Hiroshige Utagawa I

(Edo 1797 - (Edo 1858)

Japanese engraver and painter, Utagawa Hiroshige is considered one of the main Japanese landscape artists of the nineteenth century and among the most famous representatives of the Ukiyo-e artistic movement. His artistic production, which includes about 400 engravings, includes different genres (prints of actors, warriors, courtesans...), but the main subject of his art is nature in its many expressions, which the master always portrays in a subtle and poetic way, capturing the peculiar essence of the Japanese landscape. The most famous series of this production is entitled One Hundred Famous Views of Edo which had an extraordinary influence on European Impressionist and Post-Impressionist painting , being imitated by several artists, including Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh.
