ca. 1830?32 Katsushika Hokusai Japanese
The breathtaking composition of this woodblock print, said to have inspired Debussy's La Mer (The Sea) and Rilke's Der Berg (The Mountain), ensures its reputation as an icon of world art.

The artist became famous for his landscapes created using a palette of indigo and imported Prussian blue
