Landschap met boerderijen, vermoedelijk in Pont Christ (Bretagne) 1901

This small photograph is called Landschap met boerderijen, vermoedelijk in Pont Christ (Bretagne), and was made by Delizy. There's a real fogginess to this sepia print that makes me think of early photographic experiments, you know, where the process itself is as important as the image. It's almost dreamlike, with a softness that blurs the line between the buildings and the surrounding landscape. Look at how the light catches the rooftops, making them glow against the darker foliage, and notice the water. It seems to blend seamlessly with the earth around it. It gives the impression that everything is connected. It reminds me of some of Corot’s landscapes. He found poetry in the everyday and wasn’t afraid to let the details dissolve into a wash of feeling. You know, art’s like a conversation that never really ends.
