Sheep on the Marshes [Landscape with Cattle] Possibly 1890 - 1893

"Sheep on the Marshes [Landscape with Cattle]" is a photo by Peter Henry Emerson dating from 1890-1893, showcasing his innovative approach to landscape photography. The image depicts a serene, misty landscape with a winding river and a group of sheep and cattle grazing along the banks. Emerson employed a soft focus and natural lighting, emphasizing the ethereal and atmospheric qualities of the scene, characteristic of his "Naturalistic Photography" movement. This work is a prime example of Emerson's aim to capture the beauty of the natural world through the lens of his camera, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the late 19th century.
