猿描き狙仙三兄弟(大阪歴史博物館) Monkey painter Sosen and his two brothers (Osaka Museum of History)


江戸時代中期の絵師で、猿を描くことが得意だった森狙仙とその兄弟たちに焦点を当てた企画展。

森狙仙はいずれも絵師だった3兄弟の末弟だった。そうした兄弟たち、あるいはその後を継いだ森家の絵師たちの作品も展示されていた。

狙仙は猿を描くことで知られている。上方にはそうした特定の動物を描くことを好んだ絵師たちが多い。伊藤若冲の鶏、岸駒の虎、松本奉時のカエルなど。

森狙仙は、大阪で活躍した絵師。江戸時代の絵画といえば、江戸や京都の絵師についてはよく知られているが、大阪の他の絵師たちや、他の文化人などの人々の交流などもうかがえる展示品も多くあって、江戸時代の大阪の雰囲気がよく感じられた。

A special exhibition focusing on Mori Sosen and his brothers, who were good painters of monkeys in the middle of the Edo period.

Mori Sosen was the youngest brother of the three brothers who were painters. The works of these brothers or the painters of the Mori family who succeeded them were also exhibited.

Mori Sosen is known for drawing monkeys. In the upper part, there are many painters who like to draw such specific animals. Ito Jakuchu's chicken, Kishikoma's tiger, Matsumoto Taiji's frog, etc.


Mori Sosen is an artist who was active in Osaka. Speaking of paintings in the Edo period, well-known painters in Edo and Kyoto, but there are many exhibits that show the exchanges between other painters in Osaka and people from other cultures. I really felt the atmosphere of Osaka.
