story of the work:

"Blue and Green Landscape" by Uragami Shunkin (circa 1900) exemplifies the artist's engagement with the Nihonga style, characterized by the use of traditional Japanese pigments and techniques. The painting reflects the influence of Western Impressionism while maintaining a distinctly Japanese aesthetic, contributing to the dialogue between Eastern and Western art during the Meiji period.

Description of the work:

"Blue and Green Landscape" by Uragami Shunkin (浦上春琴) is characterized by its harmonious use of cool hues, predominantly blues and greens, which evoke a serene natural environment. The composition features fluid, organic forms that suggest rolling hills and flowing water, rendered with a delicate brushwork that emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow within the landscape.
