Summer Night; Winter Day, 1784. Creator: Maruyama Okyo (Japanese, 1733-1795)
Summer Night; Winter Day, 1784. Okyo painted these panoramas in the summer of 1784. Regarded as Kyotos most important painting teacher and accomplished artist, he had studied Western painting techniques, " realistic" sketching from nature, and traditional Japanese style painting (yamato-e). The naturalistic quality of these scenes results from a blend of detailed observation of nature and a remote, even detached regard for mans place in the world

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Maruyama Okyo, a renowned Japanese painter from the Edo period. This masterpiece was created during the summer of 1784 and exemplifies Okyo's expertise in blending Western painting techniques with traditional Japanese style. Okyo's deep understanding of nature is evident in these panoramic scenes, where he meticulously captures every intricate detail. The artist's realistic sketching from nature brings forth a naturalistic quality to the artwork. However, what sets this piece apart is Okyo's detached regard for man's place in the world. The print depicts two contrasting seasons - summer night and winter day - beautifully portrayed on a pair of six-panel folding screens. The delicate use of silver and gold adds an ethereal touch to the composition, enhancing its visual appeal. Maruyama Okyo holds great significance as Kyoto's most important painting teacher and accomplished artist. His mastery over both Eastern and Western art forms has left an indelible mark on Japanese art history. This particular print is housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, serving as a testament to Okyo's enduring legacy. It stands as a reminder of his ability to seamlessly merge different styles while maintaining his unique artistic vision.
