De elegante prins Genji te Suma 1853

This woodblock print, *De elegante prins Genji te Suma*, showcases the work of Utagawa Hiroshige, a prolific Japanese artist known for his landscape prints. Created in 1853, the work depicts a serene seascape with rocky cliffs, pine trees, and a distant ship. The composition, typical of Hiroshige's style, emphasizes the tranquility of nature and the beauty of the coastline. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the blue of the water and the green of the foliage, creates a sense of depth and harmony. The *ukiyo-e* print is a fine example of the artist's ability to capture the essence of the Japanese landscape.
