Plum Garden at Kameido, from the Series One Hundred Scenic Spots of Edo 名所江戸百景 亀戸梅屋舗めいしょえどひゃっけい かめいどうめやしき
Description
「亀戸梅屋舗」は、かつて亀戸天神社の裏手にあった梅園で、龍が大地に横たわったような「臥竜梅」が有名となり、第8代将軍徳川吉宗も訪れるなど、春の行楽地として大いに賑わっていた。柵の向こうに見える見物客からもその様子が窺える。画面手前に横切るほどの大きさに梅の枝を描き、奥の景色を覗かせる構図は斬新で、赤と緑という配色も刺激的である。ゴッホが本図を元に油彩による模写作品を残したことでも知られる。
