Artwork designed and digitally remastered by Sarasvati Designs. The artwork titled "Courtesan (after Eisen)" is a painting by the famous Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. It is an adaptation of a woodcut created by the Japanese artist Kesai Eisen, which was originally reproduced on the cover of the magazine Paris illustré in 1886. Van Gogh used a grid to copy and enlarge the Japanese figure, resulting in a piece that pays homage to both traditional Japanese art and his own distinctive style. In this painting, we see a woman who is unmistakably a courtesan. Her identity as a courtesan is conveyed through various visual cues. Her hairstyle, the way she's dressed, and the placement of her obi (sash) tied at the front of her kimono instead of the back are all characteristic of courtesans in Japanese culture. Van Gogh's adaptation is characterized by his bold use of color and outlines, reminiscent of the techniques used in woodcut prints. The woman in the painting is framed by a pond filled with water lilies, bamboo stems, cranes, and frogs. This picturesque scene carries a hidden meaning. In French slang, "grue" (crane) and "grenouille" (frog) were terms associated with prostitutes, alluding to the courtesan's profession. Therefore, this composition includes symbolic elements that convey not only the aesthetics of Japanese art but also a subtle narrative about the woman's role as a courtesan. "Courtesan (after Eisen)" is a striking example of Van Gogh's fascination with Japanese art and his ability to blend traditional influences with his unique artistic vision.
