Untitled (Farm Animals)

Texto del museo

While the animals and farmers are in sharp focus in Adolphe Braun's photograph, the buildings are blurred, suggesting that perhaps Braun intended to market these photographs to visual artists as models rather than intending them to be hung on people’s walls as a substitute for a painting. Oxen and horses were essential elements of 19th-century farming; they pulled the plows and other farm equipment, some of which is visible behind the animals here.
