"Ely Cathedral: Galilee Porch, Door into Nave" is a photographic work by Frederick H. Evans taken around 1891. The photo captures the intricate details of the architecture of Ely Cathedral, specifically the Galilee Porch and the door leading into the nave. Evans, a pioneer of pictorialism, used a sharp focus and a straightforward composition to highlight the grandeur of the Gothic architecture. The photograph is a stunning example of the beauty and complexity of medieval craftsmanship, as well as Evans' skill in capturing it. The image is now held at The Art Institute of Chicago.
