Breathtaking Views Wall Art

Breathtaking views have been photographed since Joseph Nicephore Niepce successfully developed silver chloride coated paper in 1816. The first photograph of scenery is dated back to 1827. Color photographs were pioneered in 1861 by Thomas Sutton. George Eastman placed his camera, Kodak, on the market in 1888, with the slogan, “You press the button, we do the rest.”

Alfred Steiglitz has taken many breathtaking views of New York City during the turn of the century. Notably winter, Fifth Avenue, 1892, which shows the busy New York Street in the middle of a snowstorm. Henri Carier-Bresson, a French photographer, considered to be the “father of photojournalism” is noted for his scenery photographs, including The Seine. Ansel Adams is arguably the most well known nature and landscape photographer, specifically those of Yosemite Valley, California.
