Hypnos en Thanatos in het Neues Museum, Berlijn 1868 - 1870

Johann Friedrich Stiehm's "Hypnos en Thanatos in het Neues Museum, Berlijn" is a stereoscopic photograph taken between 1868 and 1870. This photograph depicts two marble statues representing the Greek gods Hypnos (Sleep) and Thanatos (Death) situated in the Neues Museum in Berlin. The stereoscopic format creates a three-dimensional effect, offering a unique perspective of the statues and their surrounding environment. Stiehm's work exemplifies the burgeoning interest in photography as a means of documentation and the desire to share artistic and cultural treasures with a wider audience during the 19th century.
