EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pascaline, ca. 1855-60" was created by the talented Adrien Alban Tournachon in the 19th century. The image showcases a magnificent Camargue horse, an iconic breed native to the picturesque country of France. Tournachon's expertise in photography is evident through his masterful use of light and shadow, which brings out every detail of Pascaline's majestic form. The artist's choice to present this stunning creature in black and white adds a timeless quality to the print, emphasizing its enduring beauty. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly displays this prize-winning salted paper print as part of their esteemed collection. It serves as a testament to Tournachon's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to capture not only the physicality but also the spirit and essence of these noble animals. As one gazes upon Pascaline frozen in time, it becomes apparent that Tournachon has captured more than just a horse; he has immortalized an emblematic symbol of French heritage art. This photograph transports us back to a bygone era when horses played an integral role in transportation and agriculture. Adrien Alban Tournachon's work continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless elegance and artistic vision. Through this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the profound connection between humans and animals throughout history—a bond that transcends time itself.
