Parti af egnen ved Salzburg is a 1834 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a quiet valley nestled between tall mountains. A winding river cuts through the scene, with fields and trees dotting the landscape. In the foreground, a small farmhouse sits beside a few horses grazing near a dirt path. The image was made in 1834, when photography was brand-new. Artists at the time often painted similar scenes, but this is one of the earliest photos of the same kind. Next, look up Romanticism to see how artists and photographers used nature to inspire their work.
