Straat met zicht op de Kathedraal van Vienne 1904

Delizy made this photograph, Straat met zicht op de Kathedraal van Vienne, using a camera. The sepia tones are soft, like a memory, giving the whole scene a kind of dreamlike feel. What gets me is how the photographer uses light and shadow. Look at how the sun hits the cathedral. It's like the whole city is waking up. There is an almost palpable stillness to the scene, and the way the light falls adds another layer of texture. The whole photograph feels like a moment suspended in time, a quiet pause in the middle of daily life. It reminds me of Atget's photographs of Paris, which similarly captured the city's quiet moments. I love how art can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary, reminding us to look a little closer.
