Three Wild Geese Flying Downward Across the Moon (late 1830s) by artist Andō Hiroshige is a vintage Japanese fine art wood block painting. Asian art featuring birds flying over a full moon across a blue sky. This image originally came from a woodblock print. About the artist: Utagawa Hiroshige (歌川広重) (aka Andō) (1797-1858) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist, one of the last great artists in that tradition. He was a member of the Utagawa school which comprised dozens of artists, and stood at the forefront of 19th century woodblock prints. Hiroshige is especially noted for using unusual vantage points, seasonal allusions, and striking colours. He adapted Western principles of perspective and receding space to his own works in order to achieve a sense of realistic depth.
