Frederick Henry Evans

Frederick Henry Evans is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Frederick Henry Evans turned the new century’s photograph into a quiet act of devotion. Working around 1900, he printed buildings and sculptures in London so crisply that stone seemed to hum. One of his best-known plates, After Meryon – Le Stryge, shows the brooding gargoyle on Notre-Dame’s roof caught in crisp morning light. If you like prints that feel like prayers in silver and shadow, tap into After Meryon – Le Stryge to see how Evans froze morning air inside a photograph.
