关于葛饰北斋《神奈川冲浪里》·About Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa

葛饰北斋的木版画,出自《富岳三十六景》,约 1830–1832 年。版元(出版商)在宣传这套画时,特意提到它用了当时刚进入版画市场的普鲁士蓝。

据大都会艺术博物馆的研究,浪上深色的竖条纹先用普鲁士蓝调和靛蓝印一遍,再叠印纯普鲁士蓝;这里的深底就取自这些条纹。最亮色取自纸面和天空,浅色是浪花的灰绿,点缀是船身的暖褐。浪蓝适合做链接和按钮,页面底色用和纸白。

Katsushika Hokusai's woodblock print from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, about 1830–32. Its publisher advertised the series for Prussian blue, a pigment then newly available to the print market.

The Met's analysis found that the dark stripes on the wave were printed first in Prussian blue mixed with indigo, then overprinted with pure Prussian blue; this palette's dark base comes from those stripes. The lightest tone is the paper and pale sky, the light tone the grey-green of the spray, and the accent the warm tan of the boats. Use wave blue for links and buttons and the washi white as the page.
