Amharet es Schah 1858

"Amharet es Schah" (1858) by Luigi Pesce (1818-1891) is a striking photographic depiction of a grand, ornate building. The building, likely a palace or public structure, is adorned with white fabric draped across the facade, suggesting a celebratory event. The image's depth of field focuses on the building, capturing the architectural details and the surrounding gardens. The photograph's sepia tone adds a historical element, transporting viewers back to the mid-19th century, a time when photography was a rapidly developing art form. Today, the photograph resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
