From My Window, New York 1902

Alfred Stieglitz's 1902 photograph "From My Window, New York" showcases the artist's mastery of Pictorialism, a photographic movement that emphasized artistic expression and soft focus. The image, taken from a window overlooking a snowy New York street, captures the ethereal beauty of a winter day, with muted tones and a sense of quiet contemplation. The composition is simple yet powerful, focusing on the street's geometry and the fleeting figures of pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages, creating a sense of urban life in the midst of nature.
