This is a striking silverprint photograph by French "Baroque" photographer Andre Felix. Titled Toit a Lyon (Roof in Lyon), this composition captures a unique perspective of a woman as a clown-chimney sweeper perched on a rooftop in the historic city of Lyon, France. In the background, the architectural landmarks of Lyon, including the iconic Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourviere, are visible, creating a timeless juxtaposition of urban life and historical grandeur. The silverprint process enhances the photograph's tonal range and depth, providing exceptional clarity and contrast, characteristic of fine art photography from the mid-20th century. The photograph bears Felix's signature on the matting, demonstrating authenticity. The back of the mat is stamped with the photographer's studio address, FELIX PHOTO, 9, rue de la Platiere, Lyon, France, along with a handwritten Tirage #1, indicating its rarity. Andre Felix is celebrated for his evocative black-and-white photography, focusing on urban landscapes and everyday life in France. His work often explores themes of human interaction within historic and cultural settings, emphasizing mood and composition. Photograph dimensions with frame: 13.75"L x 17.75"H.
