Lua das Falésias Vermelhas by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, 1885-1892

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi masterfully captures a quiet, atmospheric moment from the famous Battle of Red Cliffs in this stunning woodblock print. A towering, shadowy cliff looms dramatically over a small boat carrying figures across the water, likely referencing a legendary scene from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The pale moon hangs high in the sky, casting a serene glow that contrasts beautifully with the dark, rugged rock face. This piece is part of his celebrated series '100 Aspects of the Moon,' where he paired lunar imagery with historical and legendary tales, showcasing his incredible skill in blending mood and narrative.
