Aangemeerde zeilboten 1920 - 1940

This photograph, "Aangemeerde zeilboten" by G. Hidderley, shows a row of sailboats docked along a waterway. The monochromatic palette gives the scene a timeless feel, emphasizing the subtle tonal variations in the water and sky. Looking at the surface, the print has a gentle texture, probably from the paper it's printed on, giving it a tactile quality even through glass. The reflections of the boats in the water create a shimmering effect, blurring the line between the real and the reflected. The masts and rigging of the boats form delicate lines against the sky, creating a rhythm that draws your eye across the composition. The way the light catches the sails, especially on the lead boat, it makes the whole image kinda glow. It reminds me of how Turner captured light, creating a sense of atmosphere that feels almost dreamlike. But where he went full abstract, this artist keeps things just grounded enough to feel real. What do you make of that?
