Gezicht op een molen c. 1920 - 1930

"Gezicht op een molen" (View of a windmill) is a photograph created by M. Hooghwinkel sometime between 1920 and 1930. The image depicts a traditional Dutch windmill, shrouded in fog, with a boat moored in the foreground. The soft, muted tones and blurred details create a sense of mystery and tranquility. The composition, with the windmill as the dominant element, emphasizes the importance of this iconic landmark in Dutch culture. Hooghwinkel's photographic style, with its focus on atmospheric effects and the interplay of light and shadow, aligns with the pictorialist movement, which favored artistic expression in photography.
