Notre Dame De Paris 1933

"Notre Dame de Paris" is a 1933 photograph by Hungarian-French photographer Brassai, known for his nocturnal Paris street photography. The image captures the iconic Notre Dame cathedral bathed in the soft glow of streetlights against a dark, misty Parisian night. The high contrast, sharp edges, and geometric forms create a dramatic and somewhat eerie atmosphere, emphasizing the building's towering presence and the city's mysterious underbelly. Brassai's work often explored the hidden beauty and intrigue of Paris after dark, capturing a unique perspective on the city's urban landscape. This piece exemplifies his signature style and is considered a classic example of early photographic exploration of the city at night.
