This photograph shows Frederick Douglass on a horse in front of a romantic-like background of water with mountains and a lighthouse. Douglass’ silhouette is obscured by a clump of high grass. Nature predominates this image, it resonates with older romantic paintings, like those of Caspar David Friedrich. The processional path of a sole ambulatory figure in a landscape recurs throughout Julien’s career-long meditations on chosen renowned subjects. Such pronounced, protracted peripatetic “moments” extend across his practice. Particularly noteworthy in this picture is how Julien presents Douglass like a prophet on a journey through nature, like the title also suggests.
