Notre Dame, Paris 1900

This etching, created by Donald Shaw MacLaughlan in 1900, is a detailed portrayal of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The artist captures the intricate architecture of the building, including its soaring spires, rose window, and flying buttresses. The scene is depicted from a slightly elevated viewpoint, allowing viewers to appreciate the cathedral's grandeur. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of depth and atmosphere, while the inclusion of trees and figures in the foreground adds a touch of human scale to the composition. The artwork is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be admired for its beauty and historical significance.
