The Park at Sceaux [April 1925, 7a. m. ], 1925. Creator: Eugene Atget (French, 1857-1927)
The Park at Sceaux [April 1925, 7a.m.], 1925. After the turn of the 20th century, Atget began to photograph many of the magnificent chateaux and parks surrounding Paris. This photograph is from a series taken of the abandoned estate and garden at Sceaux in 1925 and is considered his rarest and finest. It records that fleeting moment when a trees sculptural form and the beginning stubble of its spring foliage are both visible. Shooting directly into early morning light, Atget captured the stately trees casting long, shimmering reflections on the placid pond surface. By visually compressing the background with the foreground, he created the illusion that this scene took place on a single plane. The use of arrowroot paper, characterized by a velvety texture and cool gray tonal range, enhances the prints atmospheric quality. This picture acknowledges Atgets unmatched ability to combine descriptive information and expression subtly, thereby creating mysterious images of breathtaking beauty
