Wild Geese Flying under the Full Moon, ca. 1833
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a mesmerizing polychrome woodblock print created by Ando Hiroshige during the Edo period in Japan. This stunning artwork captures the essence of autumn as a flock of wild geese gracefully soar through the night sky beneath a luminous full moon. Hiroshige's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of color brings this scene to life, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. The delicate brushstrokes beautifully depict each individual goose in flight, their wings outstretched against the backdrop of an indigo sky. The full moon takes center stage, casting its ethereal glow upon the landscape below. Its radiant light illuminates every element within the composition, from distant mountains to swaying grasses on earth. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of our place in both the celestial and earthly realms. This artwork not only showcases Hiroshige's artistic prowess but also reflects his deep appreciation for Japanese culture and natural beauty. It serves as a testament to his mastery of ukiyo-e (pictures of floating world), a popular genre during that time. Today, "Wild Geese Flying under the Full Moon" can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. Through this masterpiece, Hiroshige invites us to contemplate our connection with nature and marvel at its awe-inspiring wonders.
