De drie bomen 1854 - 1858

"De drie bomen" (The Three Trees), a calotype photograph by the Bisson Frères, depicts a picturesque landscape. Created between 1854 and 1858, the image showcases three trees silhouetted against a cloudy sky, with a vast field stretching out in the distance. The use of light and shadow, characteristic of the calotype process, adds depth and atmosphere to the scene, highlighting the beauty of the natural world. The photograph, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the early development of photographic art and its ability to capture the essence of landscape.
