Artist

Foley

Foley is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Foley created mid-19th-century photographs that blend myth and realism. One example in the collection is Ino and Bacchus (ca. 1860), a staged scene lit like a classical painting. Though untagged by movement, the work sits in the same era as early photography’s experiments with allegory. Tap Ino and Bacchus to see how light and costume shaped this strange, quiet tableau.
