Postplatz met de Cholerabrunnen in Dresden 1904

This photograph, titled 'Postplatz met de Cholerabrunnen in Dresden', was taken by Rudolph Tamme. It's a study in light and shadow, almost monochromatic, like a very subdued symphony. The sepia tones create a scene that feels both distant and immediate. The way the sunlight catches the rooftops and the intricate details of the fountain, it’s like Tamme is trying to hold onto the moment, to make it last. You can almost feel the texture of the buildings, the grit of the street. Look at the figures in the foreground, they are slightly blurred, giving the impression of movement. It reminds me that art isn't just about what is there, but what it feels like to be there. There is a lot of information to absorb in this one image. This photograph reminds me a little of Atget, who used photography to document the changing face of Paris. It's like a conversation across time, a reminder that art is always about seeing, feeling, and understanding the world around us, even when it's through a lens.
