The Jungfrau Possibly 1894 - 1896

"The Jungfrau" is a striking black and white photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a renowned photographer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Taken between 1894 and 1896, the image captures the majestic peak of the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland, its snowy summit partially obscured by clouds. Stieglitz's photograph is notable for its stark composition and evocative use of light and shadow, capturing the raw beauty of the natural landscape. The photograph showcases Stieglitz's early mastery of pictorialism, a movement that emphasized the artistic and expressive potential of photography.
