EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Three Pigeons and two Finches, from an album Birds compared in Humorous Songs" takes us on a journey back to 1791 Japan. Created by the renowned artist Utamaro, Kitagawa (1753-1806), this colour woodblock print measures 38x26 cm and is currently housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK. The image showcases three pigeons and two finches perched delicately on branches amidst a serene backdrop. Utamaro's attention to detail is evident as he captures the unique characteristics of each bird with precision and grace. The vibrant colors used in this artwork bring life to these feathered creatures, making them appear almost lifelike. This particular piece belongs to an album that humorously compares various birds through songs. It offers a glimpse into the cultural significance of birds in Japanese society during that era. The composition not only highlights their physical beauty but also symbolizes deeper meanings associated with nature and harmony. As we admire this exquisite print, we are transported to a time when art served as both entertainment and education. Its presence within the walls of the Fitzwilliam Museum allows visitors to appreciate its historical value while marveling at Utamaro's artistic prowess. Bridgeman Images has made it possible for us to experience this masterpiece today by preserving it digitally for future generations' enjoyment.
