Venus de Medici and Herkales; Art Institute 1893

This stereoscopic photograph captures the grandeur of the Venus de Medici statue in the Art Institute of Chicago, taken by Henry Hamilton Bennett in 1893. The photo shows the statue alongside other sculptures in the gallery, including Herkales, in a way that evokes the depth of the space. The viewer can almost feel transported to the gallery and experience the scale of the sculpture. Bennett's work, primarily focused on stereoscopic photography, provided a new way of seeing and experiencing the world through a three-dimensional perspective.
