Gezicht een boom in een landschap in een lijst before 1902

Erwin Raupp made this monochrome image of trees in a landscape, and it's like peering into another world, or another way of seeing this one. I imagine Raupp, perhaps out in the cold, deciding how to frame this shot, composing the elements in a way that feels both natural and deliberate. I wonder what they were thinking as they looked through the lens? Were they pondering the changing seasons, or the quiet resilience of nature? The way the light dapples through the leaves, creating a soft, ethereal glow—it almost feels like you could step right into the scene. There's something so evocative about the way Raupp captured this landscape. It reminds me of the landscapes by artists like Caspar David Friedrich, but filtered through a contemporary lens. It's like they're all in conversation, exploring the beauty and mystery of the natural world, each in their own way. And that's what art is all about, isn't it?
