More about this artwork
44 (1905) by Kōno BaireiExquisitely drawn from Kōno Bairei's celebrated Bairei gafu, Plate 44 displays a captivating image of two quails nestled among lush flora. As a master of kacho-e (bird-and-flower painting), Bairei's work is a testament to the delicate and detailed style characteristic of traditional Japanese art.The quails, with their intricate feather patterns, appear almost tangible, exuding a sense of calm and contentment. They are surrounded by soft leaves and flowers which add depth and balance to the composition, suggesting a harmonious interaction between wildlife and nature. The use of muted earth tones further enhances the serene and organic feel of the scene, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the quiet beauty of the natural world.This artwork not only reflects Bairei's profound skill and sensitivity as an artist but also embodies the traditional Japanese appreciation for the subtle and transient beauty of nature.
