Gezicht op de Wijnhaven te Dordrecht 1900 - 1920

This image of the Wijnhaven in Dordrecht, created by G. Hidderley, feels like a memory. I imagine Hidderley, camera in hand, standing by the water, patiently waiting for the light to be just so. Think about the act of capturing a scene like this. The artist considers composition, playing with light and shadow, searching for the perfect angle to translate a three-dimensional reality into a two-dimensional image. There's a quiet observation, a kind of meditation on place. I wonder what drew Hidderley to this particular view? Was it the way the light caught the water, or the play of reflections against the buildings? It’s interesting to think about how artists, regardless of their medium, are always in conversation with each other, building on past ideas while exploring new ways of seeing. This piece reminds us that art is not just about the final image, but also the process of discovery, the ongoing exploration of what it means to see and be seen.
