More about this artwork

This artwork by Wilson Bentley, titled "Photomicrograph of Fernlike Stellar Snowflake No," captures the intricate and mesmerizing beauty of a snowflake. The photomicrograph - a photograph taken using a microscope - reveals the delicate, complex structure of the snowflake, which bears a striking resemblance to fern-like patterns.The image is highly detailed, showcasing the symmetrical and geometric qualities that snowflakes are famous for. Each branch of the snowflake is festooned with smaller limbs, all of which are organized in a stunningly precise, radial pattern emanating from the center. The background of the photograph is dark, providing a strong contrast that accentuates the snowflake's clear, ice-like structure, making its delicate formations stand out vividly.Wilson Bentley, often called "Snowflake Bentley," was known for his pioneering techniques in photographing snowflakes. He captured thousands of snowflakes in his photographs, each one demonstrating his fascination with these ephemeral winter crystals. Bentley's work is significant not only artistically but also scientifically, as it provided one of the first detailed analyses of snowflake forms and symmetry.

Dubbed as “Snowflake”, Wilson Alwyn Bentley (1865-1931) was a pioneer in snowflake photomicrography. As a child he was fascinated by the natural world, and by the age of 19 he became the first to successfully capture a snowflake photograph with the help of a feather, a microscope and a camera. Bentley photographed thousands of individual snow crystals during his career, some of which we are showcasing in this collection.
