EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of an intimate moment frozen in time. The photo print, captured by Harriet Backer in the late 19th century, transports us to a cozy interior illuminated solely by the warm glow of a flickering lamp. In this nostalgic scene, we find ourselves drawn to a woman engrossed in her reading, completely absorbed in the world within the pages. The composition skillfully captures the delicate balance between light and shadow, as the lamplight casts gentle illumination on both the reader and her surroundings. A vintage stove stands nearby, emanating comforting warmth that adds to the overall ambiance of tranquility. Backer's attention to detail is evident not only through her portrayal of light but also through her inclusion of a painting hanging on one wall. Though its subject remains hidden from our view, it serves as an intriguing element that sparks curiosity about what lies beyond this small corner of domesticity. This remarkable piece has found its home at Rasmus Meyers Samlinger in Bergen, Norway – an institution dedicated to preserving artistic heritage for future generations. As we admire this timeless image brought to life by Bridgeman Images' high-quality print reproduction techniques, we are reminded once again of art's ability to transcend time and connect us with moments long gone.
