Fotoreproductie van Sabbath in the Glen door Sir George Harvey before 1870

This photo, a reproduction of Sir George Harvey's painting "Sabbath in the Glen" by Scottish photographer Thomas Annan, depicts a religious scene with a preacher speaking to a large group of people outdoors. Annan, a pioneer of photography, was known for his photo-reproductions of paintings, showcasing the potential of photography to capture fine art. The print, likely made before 1870, is a testament to his skills and the evolving nature of art. The artwork captures the solemnity of the Sabbath with its focus on the preacher and the attentive audience. It offers insight into both the religious practices and the artistic sensibilities of the 19th century.
