Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji: Shower Below the Summit 冨嶽三十六景 山下白雨ふがくさんじゅうろっけい さんかはくう
Description
冨嶽三十六景シリーズの三役にも挙げられる作品。《凱風快晴》と双璧をなすように、富士の堂々たる姿を表した本図は、《凱風快晴》が「赤富士」と称されたのに対し「黒富士」と呼ばれた。漆黒に包まれた裾野から山頂へのシャープなグラディエーションと頂の尖った形容が、富士の峻厳さとその周辺に立ちこめる静寂な雰囲気を伝えている。画題の「白雨」は夕立を意味する。裾野に描かれた稲光りが画面全体にいっそう鋭さを与えるとともに奥より迫る黒く染まった雨雲が、これから来るであろう俄雨を予兆する。
