Rotswand met tunnel 1907 - 1935

"Rotswand met tunnel" is a three-part photographic work by Swiss photographer Adolphe Burdet, created between 1907 and 1935. The image depicts a tunnel entrance cut into a rock face, framed by the natural surroundings. Burdet was known for his landscape photography, often capturing the beauty of nature and the ways it interacted with human structures. This photo, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Burdet's skillful eye for composition and his ability to create a sense of grandeur in seemingly ordinary subjects. The use of the "tunnel" as a compositional element is particularly notable.
