Fotoreproductie van tien schilderijen c. 1872 - 1882

This is a photographic reproduction of ten paintings by Johannes Jaeger, likely created around the late 19th century. The image, with its monochromatic palette, presents a structural interplay of form and content through a grid-like arrangement. The composition is neatly divided, yet the individual scenes within offer dynamic contrasts. Each miniature painting captures a narrative moment, rendered with varying degrees of detail. Jaeger employs contrasts of light and shadow to define shapes and figures. These tonal variations create a visual rhythm that guides the eye across the page. In organizing these reproductions, Jaeger is not merely displaying his work but also engaging with the semiotic function of image collections. The catalogue format invites viewers to decode the visual language presented, where each painting, viewed in isolation or as part of a larger ensemble, contributes to the overarching narrative of the artist’s oeuvre. It functions as a visual archive and presents an opportunity to dissect the interplay between representation and reality.
