Fishing Village 19th century

Andō Baiho’s six-panel screen, *Fishing Village*, depicts a tranquil scene of a Japanese fishing village nestled among rolling hills. The 19th-century work, painted in the *Nanga* style, exemplifies the artist's mastery of delicate brushstrokes and subtle washes. The screen showcases the beauty of a serene landscape, with boats gently floating on the water and fishermen working diligently in their trade. This peaceful composition, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, exemplifies the artist's deep connection to the natural world and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in a serene and captivating manner.
