Sculptuur van de slapende Ariadne c. 1855 - 1890

This stereoscopic photograph, "Sculptuur van de slapende Ariadne," was created by Karl Heinrich Franz Stolze, a German photographer who lived from 1836 to 1910. The image depicts a sculpture of the Greek mythological figure Ariadne, who is known for her role in the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. This photograph, likely captured between 1855 and 1890, shows Ariadne in a reclining pose, her head resting on her hand, which is a common artistic representation of her as a symbol of abandonment and sorrow. The stereoscopic format of the photograph provides a three-dimensional effect, enhancing the viewer's engagement with the artwork and the sculpture itself. This work is an example of the photographic documentation of art and a testament to the skill of 19th-century photography in capturing the details of classical sculpture.
