“An atypical work for the naturalistically inclined Cuvelier, this highly Romantic image of two people sitting below the skeletons of burned pine trees and looking into the featureless distance like the contemplative figures in the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, was no doubt a response to the startling sight of the charred landscape.” [quoted from The Met]

I do not own these photographs (unless indicated otherwise), I just share images that somehow haunt me. Please, if you share them do not remove credits or/and sources.
