EDITORS COMMENTS
The Evening Bell of the Clock" is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Eight Views of the Parlor" created by the renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu in the mid-18th century. The print depicts two women, dressed in elegant kimonos, standing before a shoji door, gazing out at the setting sun. The door frames a serene garden scene, with a single rose in full bloom at its center. The title of the print refers to the clock mounted on the wall behind the women, which is about to strike the evening bell. The call to prayer echoes through the room, signaling the end of the day and the approach of evening. The women's attire, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflects the latest fashion trends of the time. Harunobu's masterful use of color and composition creates a sense of tranquility and harmony, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect on the passing of time. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished in Japan during the Edo period and focused on depicting the beauty of everyday life. The "Eight Views of the Parlor" series, of which "The Evening Bell of the Clock" is a part, showcases various scenes of domestic life, providing a glimpse into the daily routines and traditions of Japanese households during the 18th century. Today, this exquisite work of art is preserved and displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
