EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 170), we are transported back to the year 1887, where Eadweard Muybridge masterfully captures a sequence of a woman jumping amongst stones. The photograph, PDC-A-004694-0170, is an exquisite portrayal of human movement frozen in time. The image showcases the grace and agility of the female subject as she effortlessly leaps from one stone to another. Her body appears weightless, suspended mid-air for just a fleeting moment before landing on her next perch. Muybridge's meticulous timing allows us to witness each stage of her jump with remarkable detail and precision. As we gaze at this portrait, it becomes evident that Muybridge was not merely documenting motion; he was capturing its essence. His groundbreaking work in chronophotography revolutionized our understanding of human locomotion and paved the way for future advancements in visual arts and sciences. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the woman's silhouette against the rugged backdrop of stones. It is as if she has momentarily transcended reality, defying gravity itself. Muybridge's ability to freeze such dynamic action within a single frame leaves us captivated by both his technical prowess and artistic vision. This particular print from Alinari transports us back over a century ago when photography was still in its infancy but already pushing boundaries. Through this mesmerizing image, we are reminded that even seemingly ordinary moments can be transformed into extraordinary works of art when seen through the lens of an exceptional photographer like Eadweard Muybridge.
