Gezicht op Tourrettes-lès-Vence met een automobiel in de bocht van een weg 1903

This photograph of Tourrettes-lès-Vence, with an automobile hugging the bend in the road, was taken by Delizy. There's a dreaminess to the scene, a muted palette that feels like a memory fading in and out. Looking closely, you can see how the light etches the architecture into the landscape. Notice the texture of the stone bridge, each block a tiny, precise mark. The light gives it a creamy tonality. The sepia tones give the whole scene a feeling of nostalgia, as if the artist is trying to capture a moment that is already slipping away. This picture reminds me a bit of paintings by Corot, especially in its soft focus and atmospheric perspective. It’s like a conversation across time, where Delizy is responding to Corot’s pastoral landscapes with a modern twist: the automobile, that symbol of progress, quietly making its way through the ancient hills. Art's not about answers; it's about opening up questions and keeping the conversation going.
