Phare du Petit Minou Study 1, France, Edition 1/9

PHARE DU PETIT MINOU STUDY 1 – FRANCE | GERALD BERGHAMMER
Phare du Petit Minou Study 1 is a black-and-white fine art photograph by Austrian photographer Gerald Berghammer, capturing the historic Petit Minou lighthouse on the rugged Atlantic coastline of Brittany, France. The composition reveals the architectural beauty of this distinctive coastal landmark, where a solitary lighthouse rises above dramatic rock formations surrounded by the sea.

The lighthouse stands on a rocky promontory, connected to the mainland by an elegant arched stone bridge. The sharply defined architecture and textured coastal rocks contrast with the smooth, luminous water created through long-exposure photography. Restrained monochrome tones, subtle tonal transitions and carefully balanced negative space emphasise the sculptural relationship between the man-made structures and the natural landscape, creating an atmosphere of stillness and quiet intensity.

Photographed in 2023 and printed in 2024 as an archival pigment ink print, the work reflects Berghammer's minimalist approach to seascape and architectural photography, emphasising precise composition, refined tonal gradations and the evocative interplay of light, form and texture. Through visual reduction, this remarkable French coastal landmark becomes a timeless, contemplative study of atmosphere, permanence and silence.

This original print, 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 matt-black aluminium frame with a natural-white archival mount and anti-reflective glass offering 70% UV protection. The framed work is ready to hang and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Available through the SILVERFINEART Exhibited Art collection, it offers collectors the opportunity to acquire an original exhibited artwork in its existing framed condition.
