Gezicht op Marok nabij Geiranger before 1893

Paul Lange made this print of ‘Gezicht op Marok nabij Geiranger’, but we are unsure when. The silver gelatin print presents a serene vista dominated by muted tones. The composition is structured around a central body of water, reflecting the buildings and landscape above, creating a mirrored symmetry. The subdued palette enhances the contemplative mood. Lange skillfully uses light and shadow to define the forms, adding depth to the scene, the effect achieved through the mid-tone contrasts suggesting the interplay of light on the water and buildings. The verticality of the background foliage is in contrast to the horizontality of the water and emphasizes the tranquil stillness of the scene. This interplay destabilizes any fixed perspective, inviting a deeper engagement with the visual and emotional space.
