EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sinking Pier No. 4" by Louis-Emile Durandelle takes us on a visual journey to the late 19th century in France. The image, captured in 1887 using the albumen silver print technique, showcases Durandelle's mastery of composition and his ability to evoke emotions through photography. In this scene, we are transported to a desolate pier that seems frozen in time. The dilapidated structure stands tall against the backdrop of an overcast sky, its weathered wooden planks revealing years of wear and tear. As we gaze upon it, we can almost hear the creaking sounds echoing from its decaying pillars. Durandelle's choice to photograph this sinking pier is intriguing; it invites contemplation about the passage of time and our own mortality. It serves as a metaphor for life's transience and reminds us that even seemingly solid structures eventually succumb to nature's forces. The artist expertly captures the melancholic atmosphere surrounding this forgotten place with his use of light and shadow. The soft tonal range achieved through the albumen silver process adds depth and texture to every detail, enhancing our connection with this haunting scene. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us reflect on how art has the power not only to capture moments but also provoke introspection about our existence within an ever-changing world.
