1798 1861 Center Kuniyoshi Night Paying Request Samurai Secchu Sheets Shows Snow Storm Time Utagawa Visit Visiting Advisor Komei Liang Xuande
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, we are transported to a snowy night where history unfolds. The left panel of the triptych depicts Liu Bei, also known as Xuande, accompanied by two loyal samurai warriors. Braving the elements, they pay a clandestine visit to Zhuge Liang, famously referred to as Kongming. The center panel showcases the intense encounter between Xuande and Kongming during this fateful meeting. With snowflakes swirling around them, their faces reflect determination and wisdom as they engage in conversation that will shape their destinies. On the right panel, we witness the profound significance of this momentous occasion. Xuande humbly requests Kongming's invaluable guidance and expertise by asking him to become his advisor. This pivotal exchange marks their third meeting and solidifies an unbreakable bond between these legendary figures. Kuniyoshi's masterful use of color brings life to each character and evokes a sense of urgency amidst the wintry landscape. The intricate details in every brushstroke highlight both the vulnerability and strength within these historical icons. This remarkable artwork captures not only a historical event but also embodies themes of loyalty, friendship, and strategic alliances that transcend time itself. Quint Lox has expertly curated another gem from Liszt Collection that transports us back in time while reminding us of our shared human experiences throughout history.
