Capitolijnse Venus op de Romeinse afdeling van het Neues Museum, Berlijn 1868 - 1870

This stereoscopic photograph by Johann Friedrich Stiehm, taken between 1868 and 1870, captures the "Capitolijnse Venus" in the Neues Museum, Berlin. Stiehm was a well-known German photographer who specialized in documenting historical monuments and artworks. This photograph, part of a series titled "Ansichten von Deutschland," showcases the classical sculpture of Venus in its museum setting, highlighting the ornate details of the Roman room. The use of stereoscopic photography, popular in the 19th century, creates a three-dimensional effect, inviting viewers to experience the statue as if they were present in the museum. The image provides a glimpse into the museum's collection and the way it was presented to the public during that era.
