EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cranes, c1840 (1886)" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Japan. Created by Wilhelm Greve and based on a painting on silk by Mori Ippo, this artwork belongs to the esteemed Shijo School of art. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors beautifully capture the grace and elegance of cranes in flight. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we are transported to a time when nature's wonders were celebrated through artistic expression. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every feathered stroke, bringing these majestic birds to life before our eyes. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print also serves as a window into Japanese culture and scientific knowledge of the era. The inclusion of the solar system and sun hints at an intersection between art and astronomy during that period. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with science, offering glimpses into both outer space and inner emotions. Displayed against a backdrop of richly colored fabric made from silk, this artwork exudes sophistication while paying homage to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Its presence evokes a sense of tranquility amidst bustling cityscapes or modern landscapes. Preserved for generations thanks to William Anderson's publication "The Pictorial Arts of Japan" this print allows us to appreciate not only its visual beauty but also its historical significance. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of art in capturing moments frozen in time – moments that continue to inspire awe centuries
