Description
"Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit" by Katsushika Hokusai is a classic Japanese woodblock print from the Edo period, dating back to around 1830. This work is renowned for its dramatic portrayal of nature and Mount Fuji, a recurring theme in Hokusai's art.
The print presents Mount Fuji as an imposing peak, rising majestically above the clouds. A violent thunderstorm rages beneath the summit, with lightning illuminating the dark sky and thunderclaps breaking the silence. See more
The contrast between the raw power of nature and the tranquility of the summit creates a gripping tension in the image.
Hokusai employed the ukiyo-e printmaking technique to capture the dynamics of the storm, with swirling clouds and lightning that almost seem real. Mount Fuji, depicted in silhouette against the backlight, emphasizes its majestic and timeless aspect.
This artwork reflects Hokusai's fascination with the grandeur of nature and his ability to represent it vividly. "Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit" is a masterful example of Hokusai's art, which continues to inspire art enthusiasts worldwide.
