 The Kano School of Painting | Thematic Essay | Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art
By expanding the repertoire of the Kano artists to include boldly rendered brushwork and bright colors, Masanobu's son Kano Motonobu (1476–1559) widened the school's appeal and devised a style that merged the ink and brushwork emphasized in Chinese paintings with the decorativeness, color, and pattern associated with
Kano Sanraku (1559–1635), one of Eitoku's adopted sons, in his turn added a greater sense of elegance and decorativeness to Eitoku's style, capturing current interest in sophistication and sumptuousness.
