Comments:Hizo Nihon bijutsu taikan Vol 3Watanabe Gentai (1749-1822), son of the painter Watanabe Shinsui (1720-67), studied under his father and Nakayama Koyo, but also took in the flower-and-bird paintings of the Nanpin school.The present work, a nocturnal landscape with the moon in mid-heaven, would seem to be suggested by Chinese works of the late Ming Zhe School – for example, those of Jiang-chong. The intensity of the black ink and the subtlety of the brushwork, despite a certain roughness, are probably attributable to the original model, but the sense of season and the elegant, typically Japanese lyricism are surely attributable to Gentai’s own skill.
