Vissersboten 1900 - 1936

"Vissersboten" (Fishing Boats) is a woodblock print by Ohara Koson, a renowned Japanese artist known for his depictions of birds and landscapes. The print, created between 1900 and 1936, portrays a serene scene of fishing boats sailing on a calm body of water under a hazy sky. Koson's delicate brushstrokes and subtle use of color capture the tranquil atmosphere, highlighting the gentle sway of the boats and the reflective surface of the water. This piece is a prime example of "ukiyo-e," a Japanese art form that emerged in the 17th century, known for its vibrant colors and detailed imagery. The print currently resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
