UTAGAWA HIROSHIGE (1797–1858)

One of Hiroshige's most iconic prints, figures crossing the Ohashi Bridge are taken by surprise by a sudden downpour of rain. Only thirty years after its publication, an impression made its way into the collection of Vincent van Gogh, inspiring him to paint his 1887 oil and canvas version Bridge in the Rain (after Hiroshige), 1887, which is now in the van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
