Bosje weegbreezonnebloemen c. 1900 - 1930

"Bosje weegbreezonnebloemen" (meaning "Bunch of Plantain Sunflowers" in Dutch) is a photo by Richard Tepe, a Dutch photographer who was active in the early 20th century. The image, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases a simple yet elegant still life of a bunch of plantain sunflowers in a glass vase. Tepe's focus on capturing the natural beauty of the flowers and their delicate arrangement against a neutral background demonstrates his mastery of photographic technique and appreciation for the subtleties of nature. This work is a fine example of early 20th-century Dutch photography, capturing a fleeting moment of everyday beauty with precision and artistic sensibility.
