This photograph, "Versailles," was taken by Eugène Atget, a French photographer renowned for his documentation of Paris and its surroundings. Atget's work often captured the architectural grandeur of the city, including the Palace of Versailles. This particular photograph showcases the palace's imposing facade and the expansive gardens, emphasizing the scale and majesty of this historic site. Atget's photographs are considered to be precursors to the modern photographic movements of Surrealism and Pictorialism.
