EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "[Seated Model, Partially Draped], 1856-59" was created by the renowned French photographer Nadar. The image showcases a female life model seated in an artist's studio, her body partially draped with fabric. Captured during the 19th century, this salted paper print from a glass negative exudes a timeless charm that transports us back to an era of artistic exploration. Nadar, born Gaspard Félix Tournachon, was celebrated for his pioneering contributions to photography as well as his keen eye for capturing the essence of his subjects. In this portrait, he masterfully captures both vulnerability and strength in the seated model's gaze and posture. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece within its collection. As we admire this photograph today, we are reminded of Nadar's ability to transcend time through his lens. The simplicity of photography allows us to focus on the raw beauty of the human form while also appreciating the artistry behind each composition. With its rich historical context and artistic merit, "[Seated Model, Partially Draped]" serves as a testament to Nadar's talent as well as a reflection of societal attitudes towards nudity during that period. This evocative image continues to captivate viewers with its delicate balance between intimacy and anonymity—a true gem among Nadar's vast body of work.
