More about this artwork
We are delighted to present "Bairei gafu, Pl.13" (1905), a captivating work by the esteemed Japanese artist Kōno Bairei. This piece is a striking example of Bairei's expertise in kachō-ga, the traditional Japanese art form that focuses on birds and flowers.In this serene painting, Bairei illustrates a heron elegantly wading through a tranquil water scene. The bird's graceful stance and delicately rendered feathers are shown in harmonious interplay with the rippled surface of the water and the softly outlined plants. Overhead, a branch with lush leaves and vibrant flowers stretches across the composition, adding a flush of life and color. The subtle use of shades and the minimalistic approach not only highlight the heron’s subtle movements but also evoke a sense of calm and contemplation.This painting invites viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty of nature's quiet moments.
