EDITORS COMMENTS
Watanabe Seitei's exquisite twelfth month painting, titled "The Twelve Months: Twelfth Month," dates between 1900 and 1918. This masterpiece is a prime example of the Nihonga artistic school, which emerged in Japan during the nineteenth century. The painting depicts a falcon perched on a snow-laden branch, its sharp talons gripping the bark. The falcon, a bird of prey, is a symbol of strength and power, making it an apt representation of the wintry month of December. The painting's vibrant colors, achieved through the use of pigments on silk, capture the essence of the season. The falcon's rich, brown feathers contrast beautifully with the pristine white snow, creating a striking visual effect. The close-up perspective adds to the painting's intimacy, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details of the falcon's feathers and the delicate branches. The Twelve Months series is a significant part of Japan's artistic heritage, and this painting is currently housed in the Musée Cernuschi in Paris, one of the city's renowned museums. The falcon's portrait in the twelfth month painting is a testament to the historical significance of this artwork and the cultural exchange between Asia and Europe during the early twentieth century. The painting's location in Paris also highlights the global impact of Japanese art during this period. The falcon's perching on a branch, with the snowy landscape in the background, evokes a sense of tranquility and serenity, making it a beloved addition to the museum's collection.
