EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that transports us back to the 19th century. Created by Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, this remarkable piece of art captures the essence of a bygone era. The image showcases a group of boys on a beach, surrounded by fishing boats and the vast expanse of water. The composition beautifully balances the elements of nature with human presence. Sutcliffe's mastery in capturing light and shadow brings depth to this carbon print, enhancing its timeless appeal. One cannot help but be drawn into the scene depicted here - it feels as if we are witnessing an intimate moment frozen in time. The boys' nakedness adds an intriguing layer to the narrative, symbolizing their freedom and connection with nature. Sutcliffe's portrait not only documents life during his time but also serves as a window into our own understanding of history. It invites contemplation about how society has evolved over centuries, shedding light on changing attitudes towards nudity and our relationship with nature. This extraordinary artwork now resides in the National Gallery of Art Washington, where it stands as a testament to Sutcliffe's artistic vision and his contribution to photography as an art form. "In Puris Naturalibus" continues to captivate viewers today, offering glimpses into both our past and our present selves through its evocative imagery.
