EDITORS COMMENTS
Watanabe Seitei's masterpiece, "The Twelve Months," between 1900 and 1918, is a stunning series of ink on silk paintings that showcase the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom in various seasons. This particular image captures the essence of autumn, with a close-up view of a flock of birds flying overhead against the backdrop of a mountain range. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the birds' plumage are brought to life through the traditional Nihonga painting techniques used by Seitei. Seitei was a prominent Japanese artist of the early 20th century, associated with the Nihonga School. His work is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and its deep connection to nature. The Twelve Months series was created during a time of great change in Japan, as it transitioned from the Meiji period to the Taisho period. This image of October, with its mountainous location and autumnal setting, is a reminder of the geographical features and seasons that define different parts of the Asian continent. The birds in flight evoke a sense of freedom and movement, adding to the dynamic energy of the painting. The position of the birds high up in the sky, looking down at the mountain top, creates a sense of aerial perspective and depth. The Twelve Months series is now part of the collection of the Musée Cernuschi in Paris, one of the city's renowned museums showcasing Asian art. This painting, in particular, is a favorite among visitors for its beauty, intricacy, and the way it captures the essence of autumn in Japan.
