EDITORS COMMENTS
"Ando Hiroshige's 'The Elopement Scene in Katsuragawa Renri no Shigarami' (c. 1847/52) is a captivating color woodblock print from the series 'A Selection of Ancient and Modern Dramas.' This iconic work of art, created during the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan, showcases a romantic elopement scene set against the backdrop of the picturesque Katsuragawa landscape. The print depicts a young couple, dressed in elegant kimono, carrying their belongings on their backs as they make their escape beneath the full moon. The woman's kimono, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, is draped over her bare feet, adding to the sense of freedom and adventure. The man, with a determined expression on his face, carries a cartouche bearing the title of the drama 'Renri no Shigarami.' The couple's elopement is set amidst the serene beauty of nature, with the full moon casting a soft glow over the landscape. The moonlit scene is further enhanced by the inclusion of astronomy elements, such as the stars and constellations, in the night sky. This stunning print is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a love story set against the backdrop of nature. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the rich heritage and cultural significance of Japanese art during the 19th century." This print is a beautiful example of the artistic school of Ando Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige I or Hiroshige Utagawa, and is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, art history, or the fashion and clothing of the Edo period.
