The blossoming of Love in Miguel Blay’s studio

Ca. 1904. Gelatin / Collodion on paper.
Room 060

Because of its very three-dimensional nature, a freestanding sculpture invites the viewer to move around it, providing a chance to capture it on camera from unusual angles, as in the case of The blossoming of Love (E000788). The picture records a stage in the sculpture’s creation, and offers a unique insight into the work of Miguel Blay (1866-1936) within the context of his studio.
