Description
"Gamecock and Hen" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai during the 19th century. This artwork is part of the series "One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse" (Ehon Hyaku Monogatari) and is a striking example of Hokusai's artistry.
The print depicts two gamecocks engaged in a fierce battle, while a hen observes them closely. The meticulous details of the cocks' feathers, beaks, and claws are executed with great precision, capturing the intensity of the moment. See more
The gamecocks appear frozen in a dance of combat, creating palpable tension.
The composition of the print is balanced with a judicious use of space and colors. The warm tones and earthy color palette add to the atmosphere of the print, evoking the wild nature and vigor of the animals.
"Gamecock and Hen" reflects Hokusai's interest in nature and scenes from Japanese daily life. The artwork captures the raw energy of the gamecocks while placing them in a broader context of the rural environment.
