Huizen tegen een bergwand, vermoedelijk in de Auvergne 1902

This dreamy photograph, likely taken in the Auvergne region of France by Delizy, captures houses nestled against a mountainside. It's like looking at a memory, faded and sepia-toned, where the details emerge slowly. The texture of the stone and the rough-hewn surfaces are palpable, grounding the image. Look at the way the light catches on the edges of the buildings, softening the forms. The whole scene is a gentle reminder that even the most solid structures are in constant dialogue with their environment. It reminds me of the quiet, contemplative landscapes of artists like Corot, who found beauty in the everyday and the unassuming. This image feels similarly like a meditation on time, place, and the enduring connection between people and their surroundings. It invites us to slow down, breathe, and consider the stories held within these quiet, unassuming spaces.
