Lonely Tree in Lavender, France, Edition 1/9

LONELY TREE IN LAVENDER – FRANCE | GERALD BERGHAMMER
Lonely Tree in Lavender is a black-and-white fine art photograph by Austrian photographer Gerald Berghammer, capturing a solitary tree surrounded by rows of lavender in the French countryside.

The composition centres on a lone tree rising above a field of lavender, where carefully aligned rows converge towards the horizon. Their rhythmic patterns create a strong sense of perspective, guiding the viewer's eye towards the isolated tree. The contrast between the textured foreground, the delicate silhouette of the tree and the expansive sky establishes a harmonious balance between structure and simplicity. Subtle tonal gradations and generous negative space lend the landscape a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.

Photographed in 2018, the work exemplifies Berghammer's minimalist approach to black-and-white landscape photography. By reducing the landscape to its essential elements of line, form and light, the photograph transforms a familiar rural scene into a timeless study of solitude, natural geometry and stillness.

This original gelatin silver print on baryta paper, Edition 1/9, has previously been exhibited and is offered as the existing physical artwork in its original presentation. Signed, numbered and dated, the photograph is housed in a handmade dark-brown wooden frame with a natural-white archival mount and anti-reflective glass offering 70% UV protection. Measuring 76 × 76 × 4.5 cm, the framed work is ready to hang and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

Available through the SILVERFINEART Exhibited Art collection, this original exhibited photograph offers collectors the opportunity to acquire a distinctive example of Berghammer's minimalist black-and-white landscape photography in its existing framed condition.
