Temple with Mountains and Trees c. 17th century

"Temple with Mountains and Trees" is a 17th-century ink-and-wash painting on paper by Kano Sanraku, a prominent artist of the Kano school, known for their masterful landscapes. The work, now in the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, displays the characteristic loose brushwork and atmospheric perspective of the Kano style. The painting depicts a serene temple nestled amidst misty mountains and lush trees, conveying a sense of tranquility and spiritual harmony, typical of Japanese landscape art of the period.
