This albumen print, "Berglandschap," maybe from the Gorges du Cians in the Alpes-Maritimes, captures a landscape with a muted palette. There's a softness in the way the light touches the rocks, it’s about feeling rather than defining. Look at the textures – the grainy surface of the rocks versus the softer foliage. There’s a real sense of atmosphere, a kind of dreamy quality that makes you feel like you’re not just looking at a place, but experiencing it. I’m drawn to the way the artist has captured the light, how it creates depth and a sense of space, it makes you feel like you could step right into the scene. It reminds me a little of the early landscape photography of Gustave Le Gray, where the process is not about capturing the real, but about capturing a mood, an emotion. What do you feel when you look at this?
