Chiaramonti Niobid in de Vaticaanse Musea c. 1860 - 1880

"Chiaramonti Niobid in de Vaticaanse Musea" is a stereoscopic photograph by Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer. Taken between 1860 and 1880, this image captures a marble statue of a Niobid, a daughter of Niobe, a mythical queen who angered the gods, resulting in the tragic death of her children. The statue, currently housed in the Vatican Museums, showcases the dramatic flow of the draped fabric and the Niobid's tragic expression, making this stereoscopic photograph a powerful reminder of the ancient Greek mythology.
