The Great Wave

Description

The Great Wave

Title: Under the Wave of Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura), also known as The Great Wave, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)

Artist: Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, Tokyo (Edo) 1760–1849 Tokyo (Edo))

Period: Edo period (1615–1868)

Culture: Japan

Original Medium: Woodblock print; ink and color on paper

About: This print is Hokusai‘s best-known work and the first in his series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, in which the use of Prussian blue revolutionized Japanese prints. The composition of The Great Wave, a synthesis of traditional Japanese prints and Western “perspective”, earned him immediate success in Japan, then in Europe, where it was one of the sources of inspiration for the Impressionists. Several museums throughout the world preserve copies of The Great Wave; many come from the great private collections of Japanese prints built up in the 19th century.
