Knotberk in een weiland 1900 - 1930

"Knotberk in een weiland" (Knotty Tree in a Meadow) is a black and white photograph by Dutch photographer Richard Tepe, taken between 1900 and 1930. The image, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a single tree, its gnarled trunk and dense foliage dominating the center of the composition. The soft focus and natural lighting create a serene atmosphere, emphasizing the quiet beauty of the Dutch countryside. The photograph exemplifies Tepe's interest in capturing the essence of nature through his lens, his works often focusing on trees, landscapes, and rural scenes.
