Autumn Landscape 1862

Hidaka Tetsuo's "Autumn Landscape" (1862) is a delicate ink painting on silk depicting a serene landscape. The artist, a prominent figure in the Japanese art scene of the 19th century, expertly captures the essence of a tranquil autumn day. The work showcases a traditional Japanese aesthetic with its focus on nature and minimalist brushstrokes. The scene, featuring a meandering river, a cluster of trees, and a distant mountain range, evokes a sense of peace and harmony. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this evocative piece is a testament to the enduring power of Japanese ink painting.
