“Matterhorn Night”

This stunning Duille fine art print features “Matterhorn, Night” a woodblock made in 1925 by Japanese artist Hiroshi Yoshida.

Hiroshi Yoshida was an adventurous artist within the Japanese tradition. He travelled widely, touring the US and Europe between 1923 and 1925. Becoming acquainted with western scenes and artistic techniques he was able to incorporate these into his traditionally produced woodblock prints of which “Matterhorn, Night” is a beautiful example.

About the work
The imposing form of the mountain, glowing in moonlight looms over the snowy alpine village landscape below. Whilst no human figures are seen lights glow in the houses bringing life to the scene. Strong contrast and graphic composition emphasise both the physical and spiritual distance between the human world and that of the mountain. From a culture where images of sacred Mount Fuji can be seen at every turn the parallels in this interpretation are very clear. Like all Hiroshi works this one carries a margin seal ( jizuri ), a red “Hiroshi” seal and is signed.

This is a museum-quality archival print made using materials which will last for many years.
