歌川広重
Japanese, 1797–1858
歌川広重(1797-1858)は、江戸時代後期の浮世絵師です。風景画の大家として知られ、特に「東海道五十三次」「名所江戸百景」は日本美術を代表する傑作です。
江戸の定火消し同心の家に生まれ、15歳で歌川豊広に入門。情感豊かな風景表現と、雨・雪・霧などの気象描写に優れ、「風景の広重」として名を馳せました。
その叙情的な作風は、ゴッホやモネなど西洋の印象派画家たちにも影響を与え、ジャポニスムの象徴となりました。

年表
2月歌川広重は、1809年に母と父を相次いで亡くした後、12歳で火消同心の職務を継ぎました。4
15歳の時に歌川豊広に入門し、翌年には師の名と自らの名から一文字ずつ取った「歌川広重」の画号を授かり、絵師としてのキャリアを歩み始めた。3
歌川広重は1818年頃に「一遊斎」の号でデビューし、浮世絵師としての活動を開始しました。4
当初は役者絵や美人画を描いていたが、1828年に師の豊広が没したことをきっかけとして、以降は風景画を活動の主軸に据えるようになった。3
浮世絵の師である豊広だけでなく、大岡雲峰に師事して南画を学ぶなど、多様な技法を習得することで自身の芸術性を深めていった。3
1833年から発表された「東海道五十三次」は、遠近法を用いた立体的な描写が当時の人々に高く評価され、風景画家としての地位を不動のものとした。3
版画のみならず肉筆画でも優れた技量を発揮し、天童藩の依頼で描かれた200点以上の作品群は「天童広重」として広く知られている。3
『名所江戸百景』の制作背景には、安政の大地震からの復興を祈念するという、世直しを意図した側面があったと指摘されている。6
歌川広重の死は、1868年の明治維新後の西洋化と相まって、浮世絵の急速な衰退の始まりと見なされています。2
