De kust bij Samezu in Zuid Shinagawa 1857

This woodblock print titled "De kust bij Samezu in Zuid Shinagawa" by Utagawa Hiroshige (I) depicts a serene landscape. The artist, known for his masterful use of color and detail, captures the tranquil beauty of a bay near Tokyo. The print features a distant view of Mount Fuji, which is framed by a vast expanse of water dotted with boats and a flock of birds in flight. The delicate hues of the sky at dawn create a sense of calmness and serenity. This piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a striking example of Hiroshige's ukiyo-e style and his ability to capture the essence of nature.
