Waterfalls
Torrents from Nikko to Yosemite
Waterfall art prints: Japanese woodblock prints and landscape paintings of waterfalls.
Katsushika Hokusai's series A Tour of the Waterfalls of the Provinces (about 1832) is the main Japanese group, with further prints by Utagawa Hiroshige and Kōno Bairei. American landscapes of the 19th century include Thomas Hill's Yosemite and Yellowstone paintings, Albert Bierstadt's Yellowstone Falls and Vernal Fall, William Keith's Yosemite Falls, Thomas Cole's Distant View of Niagara Falls and Thomas Moran's Mountain of the Holy Cross. J.M.W. Turner's The Fall of the Clyde and Arnold Böcklin's mountain waterfall are also included.
The selection contrasts the flat, patterned water of Japanese prints with the large-scale realism of American wilderness painting.
The tall Hokusai prints suit narrow walls and hallways; the wide Yosemite and Yellowstone landscapes work above a sofa or in an office. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with low-glare acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
