EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Hiroshige, Ando or Utagawa transports us to a serene morning scene filled with the delicate beauty of Morning Glories. Created between 1843 and 1847, this artwork showcases the mastery of Japanese printmaking during that era. The vibrant colors of purple, cerise, and speckled blue bring life to the three open blooms and expanding bud depicted in the image. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of each petal and leaf, capturing their graceful form with precision. Set against a background shaded from black to grey, the flowers take center stage in this composition. The top part features calligraphy characters resembling grasses, perhaps representing a poem or an ode to nature. Measuring at 37.7x12.5 cm, this woodblock print exudes tranquility and elegance. It is currently housed at Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK – a testament to its historical significance as well as its enduring appeal. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece of artistry from centuries past, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found in nature's creations. The Morning Glories stand as symbols of hope and renewal – a gentle reminder that every day holds new possibilities waiting to unfold before our eyes.
