Ernest Eléonor Pierre Lamy created this stereoscopic card, titled "Watervallen van Cerisey". The composition is dominated by a central waterfall, a cascade of light that bisects the darker, more solid forms of rock and foliage. This strong contrast immediately draws the eye, evoking a sense of nature’s raw power and beauty. Stereoscopic images like this one offer more than mere representation; they engage with contemporary ideas about perception and the construction of reality. The dual perspective invites viewers to actively construct a three-dimensional mental image. The scene thus destabilizes traditional notions of landscape art, moving beyond passive observation toward an active, participatory experience. The very act of viewing this stereoscopic card is an exploration of how we perceive and interpret the world through constructed images. The structure of the image isn't just aesthetic; it's a comment on the nature of seeing itself.
