Drie tulpen 1900 - 1930

"Drie tulpen" (Three Tulips) is a photograph by Richard Tepe, a Dutch photographer who lived from 1864 to 1952. This photo, created sometime between 1900 and 1930, showcases Tepe's focus on capturing the delicate beauty of everyday objects. The photograph, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, presents a simple yet elegant arrangement of three white tulips against a muted background, highlighting the graceful curves and subtle details of the flowers. Tepe's mastery of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and emphasizes the soft texture of the petals. This photograph serves as a testament to Tepe's talent for capturing the exquisite simplicity found in nature.
