Boten in de sneeuw 1900 - 1940

"Boten in de sneeuw" (Boats in the Snow) is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Yamamoto Shoun between 1900 and 1940. The print depicts a serene winter landscape with a snowy riverbank. Several boats are moored along the shore, covered in frost and surrounded by tall, frozen reeds. The print showcases Shoun's mastery of the woodblock technique, using subtle shades of blue, gray and white to capture the tranquility of the scene. The delicate detail and atmospheric quality of the print evoke a sense of peace and stillness, characteristic of Japanese art and the shin-hanga style.
