Portrait of Julia Jackson
attributed to Julia Margaret Cameron, 1864 - 1865
Julia Margaret Cameron explored the artistic possibilities of the new medium of photography through technical experimentation. In this portrait of her niece, Julia Jackson, the photographer opted for a soft-focus effect, giving rise to a mysterious and painterly dimension. With this approach, Cameron became one of the founders of Pictorialism, an aesthetic movement within photography that strove to approximate painting.
