About this artwork
Adolphe Braun made this photograph in France in the 1850s, using a wet collodion negative to produce an albumen print. Animals and farmers are rendered in crisp focus, while the buildings behind them fall softly out of focus. That contrast has led to the thought that Braun may have meant such images as models for artists to work from, rather than as pictures to hang in place of a painting. Today it can be enjoyed for its quiet rural subject and the careful attention given to the figures.
On your wall: Its calm rural subject and black and white tones suit studies, hallways, living rooms and country-style kitchens, particularly where a quiet, traditional mood is wanted.

About Adolphe Braun
Adolphe Braun was a French photographer whose work ranged across several subjects. He is best known for his floral still lifes, his scenes of Parisian streets and his grand Alpine landscapes. Together, these show a photographer equally at home with delicate arrangements of flowers, the life of the city and the scale of the mountains.
