Binnenplaats met een fontein van het Casa de Pilatos in Sevilla 1862 - 1876

Jean Andrieu's stereo card presents the "Courtyard with a Fountain of the Casa de Pilatos in Seville." The sepia tones and the doubled perspective emphasize the architectural geometry, drawing our eye to the play of light and shadow across the courtyard's surfaces. The composition is structured around a symmetrical arrangement of arches, columns, and a central fountain, creating a sense of depth and enclosure. The rigid structure of the arches and columns contrasts with the fluid form of the fountain. This contrast engages with semiotic concepts, with the architectural elements acting as signs of order, while the fountain represents fluidity and the life within these ordered spaces. The stereoscopic view enhances the spatial awareness. This photographic approach challenges singular interpretations, highlighting the architectural form as part of a broader cultural and philosophical exploration.
