EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "[Draped Standing Nude], 1856-59" was created by the renowned French photographer Nadar, also known as Félix Tournachon. Taken in the 19th century, this salted paper print from a glass negative showcases Nadar's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of his subjects. The photograph features a female life model draped in fabric, standing with grace and poise. Her nudity is tastefully portrayed, evoking a sense of vulnerability and beauty. The simplicity of the composition allows viewers to focus on the woman's form and expression. Nadar's mastery of photography shines through in this portrait, revealing his ability to capture both physical details and emotional depth. His use of black and white adds an air of timelessness to the image, transporting us back to an era when photography was still in its infancy. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork stands as a testament to Nadar's contribution to the art world. It serves as a reminder that even within societal norms and conventions surrounding nudity, there is room for artistic exploration. As we gaze upon this striking image captured over a century ago, we are reminded that true artistry transcends time and continues to inspire us today.
