"Rainbow" is a 1920 photograph by Alfred Stieglitz, a key figure in the development of modern photography. The image captures a single, bright beam of sunlight illuminating a landscape beyond a distant mountain range. This minimalist composition, characteristic of Stieglitz's work, emphasizes the beauty of natural forms and their interplay with light. Stieglitz's "equivalents" series explored the idea of conveying abstract concepts through the medium of photography, and "Rainbow" embodies this approach.
