The artwork titled “Winter – Fifth Avenue” was created by Alfred Stieglitz in the year 1893. It belongs to the Pictorialism art movement and falls under the genre of photography.
The artwork captures a scene on Fifth Avenue during a heavy snowfall. Dominated by a horse-drawn carriage making its way through the snow-covered street, it portrays a serene and almost haunting winter atmosphere. The soft focus and muted tones, characteristic of Pictorialism, imbue the scene with a dreamlike quality. The presence of pedestrians in the background, barely visible through the dense snowfall, adds to the sense of depth and perspective in the image. Overall, the photograph encapsulates a moment of silent persistence amidst the harsh winter, rendering it a timeless piece of art.
