Harunobu, Suzuki (1724-1770), was a renowned artist known for his exquisite woodblock prints. His works encompassed various themes, from romantic and erotic scenes to parodies and illustrations of famous literary characters. One of Harunobu's notable pieces is "Two Lovers, " a shunga print that depicts an intimate encounter between two individuals. Created around 1750, this artwork showcases the artist's skill in capturing sensuality and emotion through delicate lines and vibrant colors. In another captivating piece titled "A Woman Bathing, " dating back to approximately 1770, Harunobu portrays the beauty and gracefulness of a woman immersed in water. The composition exudes tranquility while highlighting the artist's attention to detail in rendering textures and patterns. "Girl Riding a Crane" is yet another intriguing work by Harunobu, created as a parody of Hi Chobo or Fei Zhangfang, a Chinese figure. This print from 1766/67 combines humor with artistic finesse as it depicts a young girl riding on top of a crane—an imaginative portrayal that reflects Harunobu's creativity. It also ventured into illustrating characters from literature such as "The Monkey King Songoku. " Inspired by the Chinese novel Journey to the West, this particular print likely dates back to 1824. It showcases the artist's ability to bring fictional figures to life through intricate details and expressive poses. Among his diverse repertoire are landscapes like "A Poet and Mount Fuji From the Spring Rain Collection. " Produced during the 1820s, this artwork demonstrates Harunobu's mastery in capturing nature's beauty alongside human subjects—a harmonious blend that evokes serenity within viewers' hearts. In addition to these remarkable prints are more lighthearted compositions like "A Teenage Boy and Girl with a Viewer for an Optique Picture.
