The collection includes a chronology that spans from 1850 to 2010<\/strong> and a list of 63 authors -some of them represented with more than one work- and 14 anonymous ones. In addition to the photographs, the donation includes the work Katamalo (2010)<\/strong>, consisting of 12 charcoal drawings by the Bilbao artist Alain Urrutia<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n The result of the interest in visual culture<\/strong> and the collecting passion of the San Sebastian couple formed by Enrique Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez and Isabel Falc\u00f3n<\/strong>, the collection was started at the end of the seventies of the last century with the aim of being shown publicly. It brought together nearly two thousand images – the vast majority of them period originals – which make up a quality compendium of the history of photography and a catalogue of the most diverse themes, styles and photographic techniques<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n Happily, and in a new gesture of generosity by Enrique Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez and Isabel Falc\u00f3n, a good part of the works that made up both deposits have now been donated to the museum. In addition, a group of images has been added which adds value to the historical photography, extends the final chronology of the collection to 2010<\/strong> and includes Basque and Latin American photographers in the repertoire.<\/p>\r\n The donation includes a first group of images that represents the evolution of photography during the 19th century<\/strong> and allows us to understand the work of those photographers who sought the technical development of the discipline – albumen paper, gelatin bromide, cyanotype, daguerreotype… – and its consideration as an artistic language.<\/p>\r\n This corpus also documents the importance that photography was beginning to have in bourgeois society<\/strong> in the second half of the century, its development as a professional industry<\/strong> and amateur hobby, and its fundamental role as an instrument for the perception of the world and as a repository of memory.<\/p>\r\n The wide variety of subjects<\/strong> – landscapes, urban views, portraits, nudes, still lifes, genre and documentary scenes, scientific images, travel and monuments… – shows the broad use that was made of this invention from its beginnings, while at the same time demonstrating the continuity of genres throughout its development.<\/p>\r\n![\"Enrique](\"https:\/\/basquemagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/53279095646_4277d0714d_o.jpg\" "\\"53279095646_4277d0714d_o\\"")
