This volume deals with the influence Japanese painting had on the paintings of Italian artists of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The aim was to compare the prints of Japanese painters made from the beginning of the Edo period (1603-1868) to the end of the Meiji period (1868-1912), called Ukiyo-e, with the paintings of Italian painters, placing the works, divided into two different areas, the iconographic and the stylistic, in order to make their similarities evident. The time frame in which the works of the Italian painters reported in this volume are included ranges from the 1860s to the mid-20th century.
