Versailles, Coin de Parc 1904

Eugène Atget's 1904 photograph "Versailles, Coin de Parc" captures a serene moment in the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. The image features a line of classical sculptures, their white forms standing out against the backdrop of bare trees and a sandy pathway. Atget, known for his documentation of Parisian life, often focused on the overlooked details of the city. This image exemplifies his meticulous approach, revealing the beauty in everyday scenes and preserving a glimpse into the past.
