UTAGAWA TOYOHARU: THE BATTLE OF JIUXIAN-SHAN IN CHINA

UTAGAWA TOYOHARU: THE BATTLE OF JIUXIAN-SHAN IN CHINA By Utagawa Toyoharu (1735-1814), signed Utagawa Toyoharu kore o hakaru Japan, c. 1780 Color woodblock print on paper. Horizontal oban. Signed Utagawa Toyoharu kore o hakaru; publisher Iwatoya Genpachi. Titled Kyusensan kassen no zu (The Battle Of Jiuxian-Shan In China) from the series Newly Published Perspective Pictures (Shinpan uki-e). This elaborate 'ukie' ('perspective print') on a Chinese war theme may at first seem far from 'Ukiyoe' taste. However, the scene is a realization of one of the 'Bunraku' puppet plays of Chikamatsu Monzaemon (1653-1724), most of which remained very popular through the Edo period. SIZE of the sheet 24 x 36 cm Condition: Good condition and well-preserved colors with slightly trimmed margins. Some creasing, rubbing, staining, and browning of paper, commensurate with age. Provenance: From the collection of Adolphe Stoclet (1871-1949) and thence by descent in the Stoclet family, previously in the collection of Hayashi Tadamasa (1854-1906). One red seal of the Hayashi Collection at the right margin. Adolphe Stoclet (1871-1949) was a Belgian engineer, financier, and noted collector. He was born into a family of Belgian bankers and became a director of the Société Générale de Belgique after his father’s death. He married Suzanne Stevens (1874-1960), the daughter of the art critic, historian, collector, and dealer Arthur Stevens (1825-1909) and niece of the painter Alfred Stevens (1823-1906). The Stoclets were connected with avant-garde art circles in Paris and Vienna, where they met Josef Hoffmann (1870-1956), who designed the Stoclet’s famous Palais in Brussels. Gustav Klimt (1862-1916) painted the murals in its dining room. The Palais Stoclet, today a UNESCO World Heritage site, was the lavish setting to one of the most important eclectic art collections of all times, which included Egyptian and Chinese sculpture, medieval Italian painting and metalwork, enamels and relics, as well as Byzantine and Pre-Columbian art. Utagawa Toyoharu (1735-1814) was the founder of the art school of Utagawa in Japan. He was born in the province of Tajima (Northern Hyogo prefecture). However, he studied in the cultural city of Kyoto relating to the art school of Kano. His early mentor was Tsuruzawa Tangei. In the 1760s, Toyoharu moved to Edo (modern-day Tokyo). Thus, new ideas entered his artistic world when he studied under Toriyama Sekien (1712-1788). Toyoharu designed many perspective prints during the later 1760s and 1770s, laying the foundations for the development of landscape prints. From the 1780s onwards he concentrated on paintings of the fashions and customs of beautiful women. He was the founder of the Utagawa School. Museum comparison: An identical print, with right hand margin trimmed so lacking title, signature, and publisher details, is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, accession number 11.14708. A related diptych made using slightly different blocks (compare, e.g., the shapes of the clouds and the position of the beacon tower), is in the collection of the British Museum, museum number 1963,0731,0.6.
