Le Vieux Prunier

Kano Sansetsu Japanese
1646
Not on view
Même le plus vieux des pruniers produira fidèlement de nouvelles branches au printemps. C’est pourquoi il est le symbole de la force et du renouveau. Ces portes coulissantes séparaient deux pièces de la résidence d’un abbé de Tenshō’in, temple du célèbre complexe zen de Myōshinji, à Kyoto. Les courbes exagérées de l’arbre et la netteté du contour des rochers aux formes géométriques sont caractéristiques des œuvres signées Kano Sansetsu, élève et gendre du peintre Kano Sanraku (1559–1635). Ce dernier avait joui du généreux mécénat de Myōshinji, et Sansetsu aura probablement bénéficié à son tour de l’appui des moines.
