Effet de soleil dans les nuages - Océan, Normandy, 1856-1857
Albumen print from a wet collodion negative
31.1 x 40.2 cm mounted on 53.0 x 68.0 cm card
Photographer's red signature stamp. Photographer's oval blindstamp "PHOTOGRAPHIE / GUSTAVE LE GRAY & Cº / PARIS", and indistinct number "6135" [?] in ink, on mount.
One in a series of poetic and meditative seascapes that brought Le Gray international acclaim for their technical and artistic achievement, this print demonstrates his mastery of the medium with a tour de force combination of clouds, empty seas and sun. The seascapes Le Gray created between 1856 and 1858 are the works for which he is most celebrated. This print has exceptionally rich tones, and overall it is in a fine state of preservation.
