Gezicht op de Sioule in de Auvergne met links een tunnelingang 1904

This unassuming photograph by Delizy captures a view of the Sioule in the Auvergne, France, with a tunnel entrance tucked away on the left. There’s something beautiful about the way the landscape is depicted in sepia tones. Look at the texture of the rocks, the way the light catches them, creating a sense of depth and volume. The light feels soft, like the sun is filtering through a haze, softening the edges and creating a kind of dreamlike quality. See that dark tunnel entrance on the left? It’s like a portal, beckoning you into the unknown. It feels like a quiet and contemplative space, inviting you to pause and reflect. This photograph reminds me of Caspar David Friedrich, both are exploring the sublime and romantic aspects of landscape. It’s a dialogue across time, a conversation about the enduring power of nature to inspire and provoke. Art isn't about answers, it's about questions, about embracing the unknown and finding beauty in the unexpected.
