Hokusai, Hiroshige. The seasons seen by the great masters

Great travellers and nature lovers, Hokusai and Hiroshige have revolutionised the art of Japanese printing since the end of the 18th Century, bringing the landscape genre to its culmination. Populated with scenes of everyday life, their tables have embodied the theme of the seasons, at the centre of Japanese thought.

The poets had mastered the subject - associated with a specific iconography- already in the sixth Century: the cherry blossom becomes the great symbol of spring and the sun that of summer. Autumn invites you to contemplate the moon and maple leaves, while Winter comes together with the first snows.Inserted in a precious box, the volume is presented as a folded leaflet, like the ancient Japanese books.

Celebrate the theme of the seasons with an anthology of the most famous prints from major landscape artists -from the time of Hokusai to that of Hasui- accompanied by an explanatory brochure.
