Gezicht op de Sint-Pauluskerk in Luik 1866 - 1870

This stereoscopic photograph, titled "Gezicht op de Sint-Pauluskerk in Luik," by Jules Hippolyte Quéval, is a striking example of 19th-century photographic art. The image, created between 1866 and 1870, captures the grandeur of the Sint-Pauluskerk in Liège, Belgium. The church, with its prominent spire, dominates the composition, standing majestically against the backdrop of a cobbled square. The image is a testament to the power of photography to document the architectural heritage of the era, allowing viewers to step back in time and experience the city's historical charm. The stereoscopic format creates a three-dimensional effect, adding depth and realism to the scene. This work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable piece of photographic history, highlighting the beauty and artistry of early photography.
