Lovers with Young Attendant Looking on
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodblock print from an untitled series of erotic prints created by Suzuki Harunobu in 1766 during the Edo period in Japan. This exquisite artwork, displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artist's mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular art form depicting scenes from everyday life. In this particular print, we witness a tender and intimate moment between two lovers as they engage in sexual intercourse. Dressed in vibrant kimonos that reflect their status and social standing, their bodies intertwine amidst a lush green backdrop. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line and curve is delicately carved into the woodblock to create intricate patterns and textures. Adding depth to this scene is the presence of a young attendant who watches over them discreetly. Clad in traditional attire, this child symbolizes innocence amidst passion and serves as an intriguing element within the composition. Suzuki Harunobu's work often explored themes of love, desire, and beauty while adhering to strict societal norms prevalent during that time. His prints were highly sought after for their elegance and refinement. This stunning piece not only offers us a glimpse into 18th-century Japanese culture but also reminds us of the enduring power of art to capture human emotions across centuries. It stands as both an artistic achievement and a testament to Suzuki Harunobu's legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists.
