Walter Benjamin discusses the concept of an artwork’s aura, which “withers in the age of the technological reproducibility of the work of art is the latter’s aura.” Back then, before people could take pictures of famous artifacts and artworks, people had to travel and look at the artwork themselves. But through photographs, it can contain different feelings to when one would actually see the artwork in person. Take for example ‘Starry Night’ by Vincent Van Gogh. People travel from all over the world to see this very painting with their own two eyes, they can feel emotional seeing the original artifact from the 1800s, on that very canvas, Van Gogh painted a Starry Night. Through digital photography, you can still have these feelings towards a picture of the original, but  nothing hits home then seeing the original in person, like back then. So this way it can lose it’s authenticity.
