Snails on a Wall, 1700s. Creator: Nagasawa Rosetsu (Japanese, 1754-1799)
Snails on a Wall, 1700s. Rather than using the ink tones and palette of traditional Japanese painting, Rosetsu carefully described an earthen wall and two snails in a Western-influenced manner known as doro-e (" mud" or " earth" painting), building up pigments like the brushstrokes of thick oil paint. This is a commonplace scene, yet it surprises us with its novelty and elegance. The snails trails are rendered in silver paint and the artist applied his signature in gold paint--materials traditionally reserved for more noble subjects. Rosetsu was an independent painter active in Kyoto, Japans cultural capital. He was known for his visual wit and superb range of technical skills
