EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Heron Pond, Zoological Gardens, Brussels" takes us back to the 19th century. Created by Louis-Pierre-Theophile Dubois de Nehaut, a renowned French photographer of that era, this image captures the serene beauty of nature within the bustling city of Brussels. The photograph showcases a picturesque landscape at the heart of the zoological gardens. The focal point is undoubtedly the elegant heron gracefully perched on one leg near a tranquil pond. Its slender silhouette stands out against the contrasting dark background, emphasizing its majestic presence. Dubois de Nehaut's mastery in capturing details is evident in every element of this composition. The intricate textures and delicate feathers of the heron are beautifully rendered through his use of salted paper print from paper negative technique—a testament to his skill as an artist. As we gaze upon this timeless piece, we are transported to another time and place—Brussels in all its 19th-century glory. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also highlights our enduring fascination with wildlife and their natural habitats. Now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this remarkable work reminds us that art has no boundaries—it transcends time and connects us with our past while inspiring future generations to appreciate both photography as an art form and the wonders found within our own world.
