Huizen tegen een bergwand, vermoedelijk in de Auvergne 1902

This small photograph, Huizen tegen een bergwand, vermoedelijk in de Auvergne, by Delizy, is a window into another world. It's a tightly packed composition, so you can imagine the photographer, Delizy, finding just the right spot to capture these buildings nestled into the landscape. The sepia tones give it a dreamy, almost faded quality. It makes me think about the relationship between architecture and nature. How do we build our homes in conversation with the landscape? The houses are the central focus, but the surrounding mountain, with its winding paths and wild vegetation, seems to embrace them. You feel a sense of harmony. This reminds me of the work of other artists who explored rural life and architecture, each finding their own way to express its beauty and complexity. In the end, we are all in dialogue with one another!
