This woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi depicts the famous Chinese general Liu Bei crossing the Caoqi River during the Three Kingdoms period. The print is a masterpiece of Japanese ukiyo-e art, and it is one of the most popular prints of all time.
The print is divided into three panels. The left panel shows Liu Bei on horseback, urging his troops forward. The center panel shows the river, which is swollen and turbulent. The right panel shows Liu Bei and his troops safely reaching the other side.
Kuniyoshi's use of color is particularly striking. The river is a deep blue, and the sky is a bright yellow. The soldiers are dressed in bright red and green armor, and their horses are painted in vivid shades of brown and black. The contrast between the colors creates a sense of excitement and drama.
Kuniyoshi's use of line is also masterful. The lines are bold and expressive, and they help to create a sense of movement and energy. The artist's use of perspective is also impressive. The river appears to be receding into the distance, creating a sense of depth and scale.
"Gentoku Uma o Odorashite Tankei o Koeru zu" is a powerful and evocative work of art. It is a reminder of the courage and determination of Liu Bei, and it is a testament to Kuniyoshi's skill as an artist.
