EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print by Kitagawa Utamaro, titled "Godanme, Act five" captures a pivotal scene from the renowned play Chūshingura. Created between 1799 and 1801, this masterpiece measures 34.5 x 22.8 cm and showcases Utamaro's exceptional talent for color and composition. In this dramatic depiction, we witness the intense confrontation between Sadakurō, a notorious robber, and Yoichibei, an elderly man. With his sword pressed against Yoichibei's throat, Sadakurō mercilessly robs him before ultimately taking his life. The artist skillfully portrays the tension in their faces and body language, immersing us in the heart-wrenching moment. Meanwhile, in the background of this tragic event unfolds another unexpected twist: Kampei appears holding a rifle as he aims at a wild boar nearby. However, fate intervenes cruelly as Kampei accidentally shoots Sadakurō instead of his intended target. Utamaro's attention to detail is evident throughout this print; every stroke contributes to its overall impact. The vibrant colors bring depth to each character while emphasizing their emotions within this climactic scene. The Liszt Collection proudly presents Quint Lox's interpretation of this remarkable artwork that encapsulates both tragedy and irony within its frame. This print serves as a testament to Utamaro's artistic genius and ability to capture human drama with such precision and beauty.
