Misty wood (c. 1910) by Charles Corbet.<\/em><\/p>\n

A perfect autumnal scene from Charles Corbet, one of many woodland views at the Belgian Autochromists<\/a> site. As usual with autochromes it’s hard to believe that almost all these images are over a century old, the colours are so subtle. Some of the lighting is also remarkable, especially the self-portraits by Ernest van Zuylen<\/a> which are lit with a single candle. Paul Sano’s lady sitting in the garden gives a foretaste of Magritte-like Surrealism, its inset eclipse appearing at first glance to be a large black sphere hovering unnoticed or ignored beside the seated woman.<\/p>\n
