Camille Silvy: Photographer Of Modern Life, at the National Portrait Gallery

From 15/07/2010 to 24/10/2010 at 23:59

Camille Silvy was a pioneer of early photography and one of the greatest French photographers of the nineteenth century. This exhibition includes many remarkable images which have not been exhibited since the 1860s.

Over 100 images, including a large number of carte de visites, focus on a ten-year creative burst from 1857-67 working in Algiers, rural France, Paris and London, and illustrate how Silvy pioneered many now familiar branches of the medium including theatre, fashion and street photography.

Working under the patronage of Queen Victoria, Silvy photographed royalty, aristocrats and celebrities. He also portrayed uncelebrated people, the professional classes and country gentry, their wives, children and servants. The results offer a unique glimpse into nineteenth-century society through the eyes of one of photography's outstanding innovators.

Exhibition organised by the Jeu de Paume, Paris, in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery, London

Address : St Martin's Place, London, WC2H 0HE
