Sculptuur van de Griekse dichteres Sappho c. 1855 - 1880

This stereoscopic photograph, a 19th-century novelty, captures a sculpture of Sappho, the famed Greek poet. Created by an unknown artist between 1855 and 1880, the image presents Sappho holding a lyre, a symbol of her poetic talent. The photograph's 3D effect enhances the viewer's sense of depth and presence in the studio setting. The juxtaposition of the sculpture's white surface against the dark backdrop creates a strong visual contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to Sappho's form. This work highlights the enduring fascination with the figure of Sappho, a symbol of artistic creativity and passionate expression.
