"Peacock and Peonies" by Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795) is an exquisite 1768 Edo-period hanging scroll that epitomizes the fusion of natural beauty and artistic precision. Rendered in ink, vibrant pigments, and shimmering gold on silk, this masterpiece portrays a majestic peacock standing gracefully amidst lush peonies. The detailed plumage, with each feather meticulously painted, reflects Ōkyo’s mastery of realism and his reverence for nature. The composition harmoniously balances elegance and opulence, making it a timeless symbol of prosperity, beauty, and refinement in Japanese art.
