ディレクターコメント
本作は、明治22年に「今日(こんにち)新聞」から改題された「みやこ新聞」の付録として制作されたもので、人物を芳年、背景を省亭が手がけた。
芳年(天保10-明治25年)は、幕末から明治前期にかけて活動した浮世絵師。
多種多様な浮世絵を手がけ、各分野において独特の画風を見せる。明治期において最も成功した浮世絵師であり、門下からは日本画や洋画で活躍する画家を多く輩出した芳年は、「最後の浮世絵師」と評価されることもある。
また、芳年は芥川龍之介、谷崎潤一郎、三島由紀夫、江戸川乱歩など、文人たちにも愛された。精神を病みながらも創作をつづけた芳年の鬼気迫る情念がこもった究極の美は、世界中で人気が高い。
渡辺省亭は日本画家である菊池容斎に学んだ後、パリへと留学。帰国後は、西洋絵画から学んだ新しい色彩感覚や技法を日本画へと取り入れ、独自の作風で一流画家として人々に認められるようになった。しかし、キャリア中途で中央画壇からは距離を置いたことも災いし、卓越した腕前を持っていたにもかかわらず、日本美術史の中では「知る人ぞ知る実力派絵師」として、徐々に忘れ去られていった。
近年は再評価、注目され、展覧会も開催されている。

This work was produced as an appendix to the "Miyako Shinbun," which was retitled from the "Konnichi Shinbun" in 1889.
Also, this is a collaboration work painted by Yoshitoshi for the figures and Seitei for the background.
Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839 - 92) is a Ukiyo-e artist who was active from the end of the Tokugawa shogunate to the Meiji-era.
He had created various types of artworks, and we can see his unique expression styles in each genre of the works.
He was one of the most important and popular Ukiyo-e artists in the Meiji-era and also had a lot of pupils who became famous not only in the Japanese painting field but also western painting field. Sometimes he is called "The last Ukiyo-e artist".
He was also loved by a lot of writers, for instance, Tanizaki Junichiro, Mishima Yukio, and Edogawa Ranpo. The beautiful and fascinating artworks that were kept creating even he was in a mental disorder enthrall people from all around the world.
After studying under the Japanese painter Kikuchi Yosai, Seitei went to Paris to study, as the first Japanese painter to do so. After returning to Japan, he adopted a new sense of color and techniques learned from Western painting into his Japanese paintings and became recognized as a first-rate painter with his unique style. However, he distanced himself from the central art circles midway through his career, and despite his outstanding skills, he was gradually forgotten in the history of Japanese art as "a talented painter known only to those in the know.
In recent years, he has been reevaluated and paid attention to, and exhibitions have been held.
