Del natural

Exhibition at the Museu de Granollers tracing the first century of photography with works from the Universidad de Navarra, from daguerreotypes to photojournalism.

Del natural brings together in its galleries a selection of pieces from the collections of the Universidad de Navarra to review the first century of photography. The route presents the main processes of the period, from daguerreotypes and calotypes to albumen prints and silver bromide papers, and allows visitors to compare how the way of representing the visible world changed.

The works are arranged around the uses of the medium: portraiture, the documentation of heritage, landscape and the reproduction of works of art. Also featured are pictorialism, with works by José Ortiz Echagüe, the experiments of the avant-garde and the birth of photojournalism, represented by images by Agustí Centelles and Robert Capa.

The Panoràmic proposal is presented to mark two hundred years since the first image obtained by Nicéphore Niépce. It works as a panoramic overview of the medium's evolution, installed in a museum in Granollers.
