Hokusai and Hiroshige Ukiyo-e Exhibition at Museo Civico delle Cappuccine

The Museo Civico delle Cappuccine in Bagnacavallo, Ravenna, is hosting the exhibition 'Strade e storie. Paesaggi da Hokusai a Hiroshige', curated by Davide Caroli, running until January 14, 2024. The show features 120 works by two major 19th-century Japanese landscape artists, Hokusai and Hiroshige, highlighting their innovation within the Ukiyo-e tradition: transforming landscape from mere background to the main subject of woodblock prints. Among the exhibited pieces is a version of 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa', one of the most iconic Ukiyo-e works globally. The museum, which manages an exhibition space in the former San Francesco convent, previously hosted a solo show by Eron, a prominent Italian graffiti and street artist.
