After the Storm 1853 - 1856

"After the Storm," a calotype photograph by John Dillwyn Llewelyn, captures the aftermath of a turbulent sea. Taken between 1853 and 1856, the image features a rocky coastline with waves receding on a pebbled beach. A lone figure stands on the shore, their presence adding a sense of scale and solitude to the scene. This photograph showcases the artistic potential of early photography and its ability to capture the drama of nature. The image is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
