Reproductie van L'Evanouissement d'Amfitrite before 1873

Gabriel Blaise's "Reproductie van L'Evanouissement d'Amfitrite" (before 1873) depicts a dramatic scene of a female figure, likely the sea nymph Amphitrite, being supported by others as a winged figure ascends into the sky. The composition emphasizes the figures' emotional states with dynamic poses and flowing drapery, characteristic of 19th-century Romanticism. The monochromatic reproduction showcases the artist's skill in conveying the sense of drama and movement through chiaroscuro, highlighting the depth and texture of the scene. Blaise was a noted French photographer known for his portraits and reproductions of classical art, creating a lasting visual record of the art of his time.
