Boot aan een stijger 1896

"Boot aan een stijger" is a black and white photograph by Alfred Horsley Hinton, taken in 1896. The image shows a boat docked at a pier, possibly in a harbor or on a river. The photograph is a fine example of Pictorialism, a photographic style that emerged in the late 19th century, which sought to elevate photography to the level of art. Hinton’s work was inspired by the Dutch masters, particularly the work of Rembrandt, and utilized soft focus and a subdued palette to evoke a sense of mood and atmosphere.
