Maruyama Ōkyo
1733–1795 · Japanese painting · 4 works
Maruyama Ōkyo painted in Kyoto across a range of subjects and formats. These works include a literary gathering, paired seasonal landscapes and a solitary heron against gold. The spacious arrangements let a bird, a moon or a bank of snow become the point around which the rest of the scene gathers.

Look at how much space surrounds the heron, then compare it with the winter landscape.
