Night Scene on the Sumida River

Utagawa Hiroshige, 1797–1858, painted 1800s

Held by The Cleveland Museum of Art and released as CC0 (Cleveland Museum of Art Open Access). It is here to paint after: give us your own line and the painters take its brushwork, its palette and its light, and none of its subject.

The museum’s image is too small to print cleanly, so this one is for painting after.

Painting after it
The painters take its handling, its surface and its light. Your line, or your photograph, stays the subject.
The credit
Every painting made after it carries “after Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), Night Scene on the Sumida River, The Cleveland Museum of Art” on its plaque, and on the share page.
The licence
CC0 (Cleveland Museum of Art Open Access), as the museum states it. The credit travels with it everywhere we show it, and it is never enlarged.
