EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Storks Resting" is a captivating work of art by the renowned Japanese artist Maruyama Okyo, created during the 1770s in the Edo period. This exquisite polychrome woodblock print showcases the artist's mastery of nature and his ability to bring the beauty of the natural world to life through his art. The image features two storks, their long, elegant legs folded beneath them as they rest in a serene and tranquil setting. The birds' intricately detailed plumage is rendered in vibrant colors, from the glossy black of their feathers to the subtle shading that creates the illusion of depth and texture. The storks' expressive eyes are full of life and intelligence, adding a sense of vitality to the scene. The background of the print is equally breathtaking, with the rich greens of the foliage and the clear, blue sky providing a beautiful contrast to the birds' colors. The delicate branches of the trees frame the storks, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. Maruyama Okyo was a leading figure in the Ukiyo-e tradition, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." This artistic movement focused on the transient beauty of nature and the human experience, and Okyo's work is a testament to this philosophy. The two storks resting in this peaceful scene serve as a reminder of the simple pleasures and beauty that can be found in the natural world. This stunning woodblock print is a must-have for any art collection, and its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers more than 250 years after it was created. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and expressive figures make "Two Storks Resting" a true masterpiece of Japanese art from the 18th century.
