No. 49 c. 1835 - 1838

"No. 49" is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige, dating back to 1835-38. This landscape print, a staple of the ukiyo-e genre, showcases Hiroshige's mastery of perspective and detail. The viewer is drawn to the foreground, where travelers navigate a path beneath towering pine trees, their journey framed by a distant view of mountains and a serene sky. The use of vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes evokes a sense of both movement and tranquility, reflecting Hiroshige's signature style that contributed to the development of the genre.
