Cherry tree branch with
fruit Autochrome on glass, 13 x 18 cm, by Clément Maurice (1853–1933) Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris |
||||||||||
| A cherry tree branch laden with ripe fruit, highlighting the delicate colours of the cherries and surrounding foliage. The use of the autochrome process, which involved coloured starch grains on glass, imparts a soft, natural quality to the image. Maurice was particularly skilful in capturing the quiet beauty of nature with vibrant hues and subtle details. |
