The Artwork i chose to analyse is the portrait of Hiroshige by UTagawa Kunisada , who was born in 1786 in Honjo , his father was an amateur poet of some reown died after his birth. And while growing up he developed an early talent for painting and drawing . Kunisada was a trendstter in the art of the Japanese woodblock Print . He countinousily developed his style and he did not adhere to stylistic constaints set by his contemporaires , his productivity was extra ordinary .
This artwork "Hiroshige " is among his three best representatives of the Japanese color wood cut , and this work was submitted to a re evaluation .
the First thing attracted me in this paint is the colors , this represents an old man with a traditional cloth in a very bright colors the green and red and mostly and green is a symbol of life where as red is symbol of resistance .
the man looks like  a religious man with that thing in his hand which is used normally by religious people and the way he is setting looks he is in a deep reflection .
