Evening Glow at Seta -Eight Views of Omi-

"Evening Glow at Seta" is a part of the series, "Eight Views of Omi." In this series, Hiroshige captures the beautiful sceneries around Lake Biwa with a serene atmosphere using a sumi-e (black ink painting) style with a reduced number of colors. The pale yellow of the sky and the indigo of the water create a gentle contrast to the black ink-based painting, giving the landscape more depth. The Karahashi Bridge depicted at the bottom of the work is one of Lake Biwa's tourist spots, which is still known as a scenic spot for viewing the sunset. In this work, Hiroshige is conscious of the tradition of landscape painting, while at the same time boldly placing the Karahashi bridge across the composition, giving a sense of Hiroshige's modern sensibilities.

Hiroshige was born in 1797, the time when Ukiyo-e was at the height of popularity. He was good at painting since his childhood. At fifteen, through introduction of a certain book dealer, he became a pupil of Utagawa Toyohiro, and was given the artist name Utagawa Hiroshige the following year. The essential characteristic of Hiroshige’s art lies in its poetic atmosphere, which in fact is the characteristic of the Japanese heart. When this lyricism is given free play, there is beautiful music in the picture.
