Madonnahovede
1816
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Madonnahovede is a 1816 by Unknown, depicting Mary, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a woman with her hands folded, looking down. She wears a white head covering tied under her chin, and her sleeves are puffy at the shoulders. The background is plain and dark, so all the focus is on her face and the fabric. Her gentle expression and the way light falls on her face make her look calm. The photo style is simple—no bright colors, just shadows and light playing on her skin. If you like this kind of lighting, look up chiaroscuro.
