Vissersboten in de haven van Concarneau 1901

This photograph, made by Delizy, captures Vissersboten in the haven van Concarneau, and it's all about the atmosphere, right? It’s fascinating how a simple palette of sepia tones can evoke such a sense of time and place, like a memory half-forgotten. The surface has a slight sheen, and you notice the details in the reflections on the water; the image is soft, with slightly blurred outlines. Those masts feel more like a web of lines than solid objects. I keep thinking about how the light interacts with the water, creating these shimmering patterns that dance across the surface. There’s a whole language of tone and texture in this piece; the way the light catches those sails is everything! Looking at this, I’m reminded of the work of artists like Gerhard Richter, who play with photography. Both artists revel in ambiguity and the poetry of everyday life.
