Though known for his landscape paintings, Hiroshige also captivates with his beautiful depictions of birds and flowers. Two sparrows seem to engage in conversation perched on a snow-covered camellia branch. It's truly an endearing piece.
Hiroshige was born in 1776, the son of Ando Genemon, a fireman on the Yashirosu river bank in Edo. He loved painting from an early age and became a student of Utagawa Toyohiro at the age of 15. At first, Hiroshige painted beauties and portraits of actors. He became famous as a popular painter by creating numerous landscapes, starting with his "Famous Places of the Eastern Capital" series.
