EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Twelve Months" by renowned Japanese artist Watanabe Seitei, dates back to the early 20th century, between 1900 and 1918. A masterpiece of the Nihonga school, this artwork showcases the artist's exceptional skill in using traditional Japanese techniques, such as ink on silk. The print depicts a series of twelve monthly scenes, each featuring a unique geographical feature and a pair of fish or fishes native to that month. The seventh month, represented here, showcases a close-up view of a vibrant, colorful river teeming with life. The fish, expertly rendered with intricate details and brilliant colors, appear almost lifelike, inviting the viewer to imagine the dynamic underwater world. Watanabe Seitei's "The Twelve Months" is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia, specifically Japan, and its deep connection to nature. The artwork was created during a time when Japan was opening up to the world, and its influence can be seen in the fusion of traditional Japanese techniques and the European-inspired concept of representing each month with a specific scene. This beautiful piece of art is now part of the esteemed collection at Musée Cernuschi in Paris, one of the finest museums for Asian art in France. The museum's acquisition of "The Twelve Months" adds to its impressive collection of heritage art, showcasing the interconnectedness of cultures and the universal language of art.
