Weg van "Ma retraite" naar de stad 1903 - 1910

Hendrik Doijer made this photograph of a road with trees, sometime around the turn of the last century, but don't quote me on that. The monochrome gives it a timeless feel, right? Like a memory. Check out how the light filters through the leaves, creating these soft, dappled shadows. It's not about sharp details, it's more about the feeling of being there. I love how the road kind of disappears into the distance, drawing you in, inviting you to take a walk. There's a stillness, a quietness to the scene. But look closer! See the little figures in the distance? Suddenly, the picture has a story, a journey. It’s like a stage set, waiting for something to happen. This photo reminds me a bit of some of the early Impressionists, like Camille Pissarro. They were also into capturing fleeting moments and the effects of light. Art’s just an ongoing conversation, isn't it? Always borrowing, always riffing off each other. Anyway, that's what I see. What do you see?
