Message 雪堂 is correct. The painter 藤井雪堂 Fujii Setsudou died in 1839 at age 62. If you enter the characters in Google and look in "images" you will see a painting of a bird (white dove?) on a flowering plum branch which includes a seal identical to yours, so I think Fuji is your guy. However the link to the photo (https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQAyZEtA_II7EWPjuBeCmSMfFeMKw_yTqcItdF-RNpdnhNB28vZ3Q) seems to be broken and the website on which it appears is a long blog of various paintings with broken image links, so it will take some wading through to find details: http://kakz.blogoo.ne.jp/d2013-11.html However if you are interested primarily in pictures of dragons in this style you will find many Japanese pictures of this sort. Culturally the touchstone is the work of Chinese painter Chen Rong. His Nine Dragons scroll in Boston is the best known of this type: https://scrolls.uchicago.edu/scroll/nine-dragons Post a Response |
