Paard en wagen op een landweg before 1899

"Paard en wagen op een landweg" is a photograph by Alexis Mazourine, created before 1899. It depicts a horse-drawn carriage traveling along a country road. Mazourine was a Russian photographer known for his work in the genre of pictorialism, a style of photography that emerged in the late 19th century and aimed to elevate photography to the status of fine art. Mazourine's work often explored themes of nature, rural life, and the beauty of everyday scenes, using soft focus and painterly techniques to create evocative images. "Paard en wagen op een landweg" is a prime example of Mazourine's photographic style, capturing the tranquility of the countryside and the simple elegance of a horse-drawn carriage.
