Okada Hanko 岡田半江 (1782-1846) -
Description
This landscape departs from Hanko’s typical style, which emphasizes rounded mountain forms rendered mainly by wide dots of ink. This example shows unusually refined execution and exceptional brushwork, especially in areas such as the pine at the center of the composition. The composition is also unusual and dramatic, with the high viewpoint creating and emphatic view deep into the gorge where boats pass on the flowing river below. The support for the painting is satin weave silk, which was popular among Japanese artists of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. -
