Gezicht op de façade van de Notre-Dame in Parijs c. 1850 - 1880

This stereoscopic photograph, created between 1850 and 1880, captures the impressive façade of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. Artist Aaron Martinet, known for his work in the early 19th century, uses the popular technique of stereoscopy to present a three-dimensional perspective of the architectural masterpiece. The image showcases the cathedral's intricate details, from the imposing twin towers to the ornate rose window, highlighting the grandeur of Gothic architecture. When viewed through a stereoscope, the two separate images merge to create a more realistic, immersive experience for the viewer. This photograph, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of both photography and the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral.
