This visionary created an image of the interior courtyard of his family residence. This first photograph inspired many more. At first documentary in its approach, this kind of photography would later become an artistic observation of the environment. Artists seek to capture lines, forms, textures, and the materials of the architecture around them, since architecture varies greatly from one location to another.
