(*) “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is Katsushika Hokusai’s most famous work, created between 1830 and 1832. This masterful print depicts a striking scene in which a monumental wave, with its foamy crests that seem about to engulf three fishing boats, rises against Mount Fuji, which stands serenely on the horizon. Here, the Japanese artist unveils his full creative genius, using the famous Prussian blue, a pigment newly imported from Europe at that time, to create subtle gradations that confer the composition its characteristic depth. The exceptional technical mastery of Hokusai is revealed in every detail: the bubbly foam of the wave, the dramatic movement of the water, the precision of the boats and their crews, up to the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji standing out against a sky of great serenity.
