Fotoreproductie van een foto door Hugo Henneberg, voorstellend een gezicht op Villa Falconieri in Frascati before 1907

This photograph of the Villa Falconieri in Frascati by Hugo Henneberg, rendered in tones of gray, invites us into a world of reflection and shadow. It's like the artist was standing there, maybe on a cloudy day, watching the way the light hit the water and the old walls. You can almost see them tinkering in the darkroom—adjusting the chemicals, waiting for the image to appear, experimenting until something emerges that feels right. The texture is smooth, almost like a misty memory. It reminds me of some of Gerhard Richter’s blurry paintings, where the subject is almost lost. Look at how the arches of the villa are echoed in the water. It's a dance between what's solid and what's fleeting. Maybe Henneberg was thinking about the fleeting nature of time, and how we try to capture moments that are always slipping away. Painters and photographers are always talking to each other across time, each trying to capture something elusive about the world around them. Ultimately, it's about a feeling, an intuition, a way of seeing that can't be put into words.
