Landscape at Night 1871 - 1925

"Landscape at Night" is a photograph taken by Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, a renowned photographer known for his evocative landscapes and dramatic use of light. The image, created sometime between 1871 and 1925, features a rural scene at dusk, with a horse-drawn cart parked in the foreground, and two figures walking in the distance. Sutcliffe's mastery of composition and chiaroscuro is evident, as he uses soft light to create a sense of mystery and tranquility. The photograph exemplifies the Pictorialist movement, which sought to elevate photography to the status of fine art.
