Rotswand met begroeiing 1847 - 1856

Hugh Owen's "Rotswand met begroeiing" is a striking example of 19th-century photographic art. Captured between 1847 and 1856, the image features a close-up view of a rocky cliff face adorned with delicate foliage. The composition emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the textured surface of the rock and the intricate details of the ferns and blossoms. Owen's work was known for its detailed representations of nature, often capturing the beauty of his surroundings with sharp focus and a sense of reverence. This small-scale, early photographic print serves as a testament to Owen's dedication to capturing the natural world in its raw beauty.
