The artwork titled “Morning Glory”, created by the artist Hiroshige, is a print that belongs to the landscape genre within the Ukiyo-e art movement.
The artwork presents an intricate portrayal of morning glory flowers, vividly colored in shades of blue, purple, and red. The leaves and vines of the morning glory plant are prominently featured, displaying a dynamic sense of movement as they twist and turn. In the background, one can observe a quaint garden scene with a small thatched-roof structure, pots of flowering plants, and a figure engaged in a tranquil activity. The composition balances the lush natural elements with subtle human presence, emphasizing the serene beauty of everyday moments in nature, which is characteristic of Hiroshige’s work in the Ukiyo-e style.
