New updated edition
Announced in 1839 in France by François Arago, the new photographic process experienced, in barely twenty years, a rapid and remarkable expansion. By introducing a new way of representing reality, photography has aroused both enthusiastic expectations and marked fears in the field of artistic creation.
This book is not a history of photography in the nineteenth century, nor does it attempt to recall all the issues involved in its invention. Beyond the parallel between painted works and photographs, this book explores in a new way, through a fascinating study by genre, the stakes of an encounter between nineteenth-century pictorial creation and photographic invention.
