View of the Cloister of the Cathedral of Mainz, plate two from Allemande 1844

Nicolas Chapuy's "View of the Cloister of the Cathedral of Mainz" is a lithographic print from 1844 that captures the intricate detail of the cathedral's cloister. The print depicts a long, vaulted hallway lined with arches and columns, with figures standing and sitting within the space. The light filters in from windows at the end of the hallway, highlighting the ornate stonework and the dramatic perspective. This print, now housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the power of lithography to capture the architectural grandeur of historical spaces, providing a glimpse into the past.
