O obrazu
Maruyama Ōkyo painted Two Cranes and a Pine Tree in 1772. The work is in the Minneapolis Institute of Art in Minneapolis. Ōkyo combined Japanese decorative composition with a naturalism informed by Western art. He carefully distinguishes feathers and the scales covering the cranes’ legs. One bird’s shortened neck establishes volume through foreshortening. Red-crowned cranes were familiar across East Asian wetlands and admired for their size, colouring and dances. Their association with long life arose from the belief that they could live for a thousand years.
Slovy muzea
Maruyama O_kyo was the founder of a school of naturalist painters in the city of Kyoto in the 18th century. He artfully combined the traditional Japanese decorative compositional approach with elements of Western realism. For this painting of two cranes, O_kyo carefully depicted the birds' plumage and scaly texture of their legs. He also created a convincing sense of space and volume by foreshortening the neck of one of the cranes.
Red-crowned cranes were once ubiquitous throughout the wetlands of China, Korea and Japan. Their impressive size, striking coloration, and lively dance made them a popular subject among artists. In East Asian mythology, they are believed to live for 1, 000 years, and thus became auspicious symbols of longevity.
