The Great Wave, Sète a photo by the French photographer Jean-Baptiste Gustave Le Gray. Le Gray is considered as one of the pioneers of photography and one of the most important photographers of the 1800s. He is known for his technical innovations, including the development of the waxed paper negative (which held more detail than the process developed by Fox Talbot) and his combination prints, where he used one negative for the sky and another for the land/sea.
