Lot Essay
One of Hiroshige's most iconic prints, figures crossing the Ohashi Bridge are taken by surprise by a sudden downpour of rain. Only thirty years after its publication, an impression of this print made its way into the collection of Vincent van Gogh, inspiring him to paint his 1887 oil and canvas version The Bridge in the Rain (after Hiroshige), which is now in the van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
For another impression in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, see www.mfa.org accession number 34.292 and for another in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, go to http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/37386
