Tree and the Tower, Paris, France, Edition 1/9

TREE AND THE TOWER – PARIS, FRANCE | GERALD BERGHAMMER
Tree and the Tower is a black-and-white fine art photograph by Austrian photographer Gerald Berghammer, capturing a distinctive perspective of the iconic Eiffel Tower through the branches of a tree in Paris, France. The composition reveals the striking relationship between nature and architecture, where sculptural tree branches frame the monumental iron structure against an expansive, luminous sky.

Sweeping branches dominate the foreground, their dark, organic forms and intricate patterns contrasting with the precise geometric latticework of the Eiffel Tower. The intersecting lines of natural and architectural structures create a carefully balanced visual rhythm, while restrained monochrome tones, subtle tonal transitions and generous negative space emphasise the interplay of light, form and perspective. This unexpected framing lends the familiar Parisian landmark a timeless, contemplative quality.

Photographed in 2017 and printed in 2017 as a traditional gelatin silver print on baryta paper, the work reflects Berghammer's minimalist approach to black-and-white architectural photography, exploring the relationship between natural forms, structure and light.

This original print, Edition 1/9, has previously been exhibited. Signed, numbered and dated, the photograph is housed in a handmade black wooden 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.

Part of the SILVERFINEART Exhibited Art collection, this original photograph is preserved in its existing framed presentation.
