Gezicht op het Griekse theater van Taormina 1862 - 1876

This stereoscopic photograph, created between 1862 and 1876, depicts the ruins of the ancient Greek theater in Taormina, Sicily, by French photographer Jean Andrieu. The image, composed of two nearly identical views side-by-side, captures the theater's impressive scale against the backdrop of the surrounding mountains. Andrieu's work, often capturing historic sites and landscapes, offers viewers a glimpse into the past and the enduring power of ancient architecture. The stereoscopic effect of the photograph enhances the three-dimensional quality of the image, allowing viewers to experience the scene as if they were standing there themselves.
