1750
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Poultry is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a group of birds on the ground and in flight. Some are standing still, like the white duck in the center, while others are mid-step or taking off. In the background, a few birds are caught in motion, their wings spread wide. The artist used light and shadow to make the birds look real, almost like they’re moving. The dark background makes the white and gray feathers stand out. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro.
