EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Up Valley Yo Semite". Carleton Watkins, an acclaimed American photographer from the 19th century, takes us on a visual journey through the breathtaking landscapes of Yosemite National Park in California. Captured in 1861 using the albumen silver print technique, this image showcases Watkins' exceptional talent for capturing nature's grandeur. The photograph transports us to a serene valley nestled within Yosemite's majestic mountains. As we gaze at the scene before us, our eyes are drawn upward towards towering granite cliffs that seem to touch the sky. The lush greenery and vibrant flora add a sense of tranquility to the composition while also highlighting nature's resilience. Watkins skillfully plays with light and shadow, enhancing every intricate detail of this natural wonderland. The play of sunlight filtering through dense foliage creates a mesmerizing interplay between brightness and darkness, evoking a sense of mystery and awe. This remarkable piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty and contemplate their place within such vastness. It serves as both a testament to Watkins' artistic vision and an homage to Yosemite's enduring allure. As we admire this historical gem from Liszt Collection, let it remind us of our responsibility to preserve these precious natural wonders for future generations. May it inspire us all to cherish and protect our planet's extraordinary landscapes like those captured by Carleton Watkins over a century ago.
