Gezicht op de poort van de Athenaeum Illustre in Amsterdam gevestigd in de Agnietenkapel before 1894

This anonymous photograph, taken before 1894, depicts the entrance to the Athenaeum Illustre in Amsterdam, housed in the Agnietenkapel. The detailed stonework surrounding the archway, with its decorative elements and a coat of arms above, highlights the architectural grandeur of the building. The image captures the building's facade in a straightforward style, typical of architectural photography of the late 19th century, focusing on capturing the precise details of the building. The photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the architectural heritage of Amsterdam and the historical significance of the Athenaeum Illustre.
