What has rarely, if ever, been discussed, however, is the aesthetic appeal of Kersting\u2019s portrait works to be found among the thousands of photographs housed at the Courtauld Institute of Art\u2019s Conway Library.<\/p>\n<p>Kersting\u2019s architectural photography imbues his selected structures with a feel of stoic timelessness. This visual essay takes previously unanalysed works from Kersting\u2019s portfolio and examines how the photographer was not only taking images <em>of <\/em>his modern day, but composing them <em>in the aesthetic style <\/em>of his modern day. These compositional decisions correspond to the 19<sup>th <\/sup>and 20<sup>th<\/sup> Century fine art shift through Impressionism, Surrealism and Pop Art. That Kersting may have seen these specific works is postulation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_393\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-393\" style=\"width: 1313px\" class=\"wp-caption
