Description
Mori Tetsuzan (Japan, 1775–1841): Two-panel folding screen, ink and colours on paper with gold powder, depicting a macaque on a gnarled tree trunk. Signed Tetsuzan, with the seals Shushin and Tetsuzan. (Frame detached, holes, insect damage, restorations, small tears) H. 172.5 cm. Width of one panel 89 cm Mori Tetsuzan (1775–1841) was the pupil and adopted son of Mori Sosen, whose legacy he continued and enriched as head of the Mori school in Osaka. Trained in his father’s studio, he absorbed the rigour of naturalistic observation inherited from the Maruyama-Shijō school, whilst considerably broadening the family’s repertoire—initially centred on monkeys—to encompass the entire animal kingdom as well as to subjects such as flowers and birds (kachō-ga) and landscapes. His work is characterised by great finesse of execution, a keen eye for naturalistic detail and a delicate colour palette, all of which bear witness to a technical mastery recognised by his contemporaries. A highly regarded court painter in his day, Tetsuzan made a decisive contribution to the enduring legacy of the Mori school beyond the sole specialism of monkeys, ensuring the transmission of a style that is still sought after today by connoisseurs of Japanese painting.
