EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe in 1917, showcases the serene beauty of the gardens at Kijkuit, the estate of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. located in Pocantico Hills, Westchester County, New York. Designed by architect William Welles Bosworth, the gardens are a stunning blend of art, architecture, and nature, featuring a symmetrical arrangement of ornate fountains and sculptures. In the foreground of the image, a reclining female figure lies gracefully on the grass, her outstretched arms creating a sense of tranquility and relaxation. The focus of the photograph, however, is the magnificent fountain in the background, its intricate design and ornate detailing reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Rockefeller estate. The water cascades gracefully down the steps, creating a soothing sound that adds to the peaceful ambiance of the scene. The photograph, which is now housed in the Library of Congress as a nitrate negative, is a testament to the enduring beauty and heritage of American art and architecture from the early 20th century. The contrast between the white marble sculpture and the photograph adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the image, making it a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
