EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "August Strindberg's hand with the inscription Photographie aufgenommen im Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris, 1895," is a striking and introspective image of Swedish playwright and author August Strindberg's hand. Taken by renowned French photographer Julien Leclercq in 1895 at the Hôpital Saint-Louis in Paris, the photograph captures Strindberg's hand in a close-up, revealing the intricacies of his fingers and the texture of his skin. The hand rests on a table, its palm facing upwards, with the inscription "Photographie augenommen im Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris, 1895" (Photography taken at the Hôpital Saint-Louis, Paris, 1895) visible in the bottom right corner. The photograph is a testament to the artistic movements of the late 19th century, specifically expressionism, which sought to explore the inner workings of the human psyche. The use of black and white in the image adds to the somber and introspective mood, while the focus on the hand and its details highlights the human body as a subject of scientific and artistic inquiry. August Strindberg, a leading figure in the Swedish literary scene, was known for his explorations of the human condition and the complexities of human relationships. This photograph, taken during his time in Paris, adds another layer to our understanding of the man and his work, offering a glimpse into his physical being and the artistic process that shaped his literary legacy. The Nordic Museum Foundation's collection, which houses this photograph, is a treasure trove of heritage art and cultural history, showcasing the rich artistic and scientific heritage of the Nordic region. This image of August Strindberg's hand serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and exploring the past, and the enduring power of art to inspire and provoke thought.
