Ganzen bij volle maan 1930 - 1945

"Ganzen bij volle maan" (Geese under the Full Moon) is a woodblock print by renowned Japanese artist Ohara Koson, created between 1930 and 1945. The print depicts a flock of geese flying under a large, full moon against a muted gray sky. The geese are rendered with delicate detail, their feathers and wings depicted with precise lines, while the moon is a stark white circle against the soft background. The simplicity and elegance of the composition, along with the artist's masterful use of color and line, create a serene and contemplative mood. This print showcases Koson's signature style of nature imagery, which was highly valued for its realism and delicate beauty. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
