EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Charles Nègre transports us to the right side of the main portal of Saint Trophime in Arles. Taken between 1852 and 1853, this salted paper print from a paper negative showcases Nègre's exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and evoking emotions through his lens. In this particular image, we are drawn to two evangelists depicted on the right side of the portal. Their solemn expressions and delicate features reveal their devotion as they stand amidst an intricately carved architectural backdrop. The play of light and shadow adds depth to their figures, emphasizing their importance within the religious context. However, it is not just these pious figures that catch our attention; there is also a haunting presence lurking nearby. Amongst them are the damned souls, eternally trapped in torment. This juxtaposition between salvation and damnation creates a thought-provoking contrast that invites contemplation about life's choices and consequences. Measuring at 31.6 × 23 cm (12 7/16 × 9 1/16 in. ), this exquisite print allows us to appreciate every minute detail meticulously captured by Nègre's skilled craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how artistry transcends time through mediums like salted paper prints.
