Late Autumn Landscape
Japanese
Description
This landscape was formerly attributed to Bunsei, an artist who specialized in atmospheric effects; but today most scholars consider the attribution unlikely.
Subject Matter:
The entire top portion of this painting is seemingly blank, but represents the air and atmosphere. This probably explains why the work has been attributed, perhaps falsely, to Bunsei, a specialist in atmospheric painting.
Physical Description:
The entire top portion of this painting is seemingly blank, but represents the air and atmosphere. Below are mountains hugged by clouds and trees and vegetation in the phase of autumn.
