The artwork titled “Nabeshima” was created by the artist Hiroshi Yoshida in 1930. It belongs to the Shin-hanga art movement and falls within the marina genre. This piece is part of Yoshida’s “Inland Sea Second Series.”
The artwork portrays a serene maritime scene, characterized by a number of sailboats and ships, gently gliding over calm, reflective waters. In the background, several small, tree-covered islands are visible, with mountainous terrain rising softly behind them, creating a profound sense of depth. The use of tranquil hues of blue and subtle gradients captures the peacefulness of the sea at either dusk or dawn. The meticulous rendering of reflections in the water contributes to the overall realism and tranquility of the artwork. The composition is balanced and harmonious, exemplifying Yoshida’s expertise in capturing the beauty of natural landscapes and marine vistas.
