Bijgebouwen van een boerderij op Het Loo c. 1900 - 1940

This photograph, "Bijgebouwen van een boerderij op Het Loo", was taken by Richard Tepe sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century. Look at the gentle sepia tones, creating a soft focus that makes me think about memory. It's like seeing the world through a vintage filter, where edges blur and details soften. The texture is another story; the way the light catches the brickwork of the farmhouse and the wood of the barn. The photo almost feels tactile. The light creates these shapes, like a dance between solidity and atmosphere. My eye keeps returning to the small, round windows on the farmhouse, they're like little eyes staring back at you, hinting at the life inside. This piece reminds me of the work of early landscape photographers. It captures a sense of place, a moment in time, but it also speaks to something deeper about our relationship with the land, how we shape it and are shaped by it in return. It’s not just about seeing; it's about feeling.
