Contemplating The Mountains of Menzenc | France

Inspired by by the French photographer Félix Thiollier. The woman is the daughter of the photographer. Approximately 1905. Thiollier emphasised the theatrical aspects of landscapes and was notable for its pictorialist style, emphasizing light, shadow, and atmosphere. He often avoided mainstream photographic circles, preferring to work independently.

Thiollier’s contributions were largely unrecognized during his lifetime but gained appreciation posthumously, with exhibitions at institutions like the Musée d’Orsay and collections held at major museums worldwide.
