Landscape, 1767. Creator: Kan Tenju (Japanese, 1727-1795
Landscape, 1767. A lone, elderly figure, his retreat from the world tucked into the mountains near a waterfall, looks out his window onto the landscape below. A poem in Chinese at the upper right conveys the atmosphere of the painting--the approach of evening, light coming through clouds, and a cool mountain breeze after a rainfall. The painter, Kan Tenju, was best known as a calligrapher and seal carver with a deep respect for Chinese literature

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Landscape, 1767" we are transported to the serene world created by Japanese artist Kan Tenju. The scene depicts a solitary and aged figure who has sought solace from the chaos of the outside world in a tranquil mountain retreat near a cascading waterfall. Through his window, he gazes upon the breathtaking landscape that unfolds below. The painting is imbued with an ethereal atmosphere, beautifully conveyed through a poem written in Chinese script at the upper right corner. The verses evoke the approaching evening, rays of light piercing through clouds, and a refreshing mountain breeze following rainfall. It is evident that Kan Tenju's deep reverence for Chinese literature influenced his artistic expression. Although primarily renowned as a calligrapher and seal carver, Kan Tenju showcases his mastery of ink and light color on paper in this exquisite hanging scroll from Japan's Edo period (1615-1868). His attention to detail and ability to capture nature's essence make this artwork truly remarkable. This print is part of Heritage Art's collection at The Cleveland Museum of Art. Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within Japanese art history. Let yourself be transported into this mesmerizing landscape as you contemplate the profound connection between man and nature captured by Kan Tenju's skilled hand.
