Opvoering van Phèdre in theater Possibly 1927

A.G.A. van Eelde's photograph, "Opvoering van Phèdre in theater," captures the ruins of a once-grand structure, likely a Roman temple, with its crumbling columns standing against a hazy sky. The image, likely taken in 1927, portrays the passage of time and the enduring presence of history, a theme often explored in photographic art. The stark black-and-white composition highlights the architectural details of the ruins, evoking a sense of both grandeur and decay. This photograph serves as a visual testament to the ephemeral nature of human constructions and the enduring power of the past.
