The invention of photography in 1839 led to a true revolution in visual culture: photography created and visualized the modern world. For the first time, the world could be captured and accessed in all its facets. Photography conquered its place everywhere: in science, the arts, daily life, and in reporting on what was happening in the world.
With a selection of over 300 photographs from the Rijksmuseum’s extensive and important collection, New Realities offers an impressive overview of the international development of photography. Key highlights include the earliest travel photos, motion studies by Eadweard Muybridge, examples of advertising photography, portraits, scenes from everyday life, the earliest photograph from Suriname, and astonishing images captured through microscopes and telescopes.
