Gevel van de Sint-Paulus buiten de Muren te Rome c. 1850 - 1880

This stereoscopic photograph by Italian photographer Lorenzo Suscipi, taken between 1850 and 1880, captures the facade of the Basilica di San Paolo fuori le Mura in Rome. The photograph depicts the basilica's imposing facade, with its towering bell tower and row of columns, from a slightly elevated perspective. The detail of the road in the foreground creates a sense of depth and invites the viewer to experience the basilica from a different vantage point, as if standing in front of it. Stereoscopic photography, popular in the 19th century, allows viewers to experience a 3-D effect of the image when viewed through a stereoscope.
