Exterieur van het kasteel van Azay-le-Rideau c. 1880 - 1900

"Exterieur van het kasteel van Azay-le-Rideau" (Exterior of the Castle of Azay-le-Rideau) is a late 19th-century photograph by the French photographer Médéric Mieusement. The photograph, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, captures the imposing facade of the 16th-century French Renaissance château. The building is symmetrical and features multiple towers, windows, and details typical of the period. The photograph's classic composition and sharp details emphasize the grandeur of the architectural masterpiece. This work is an example of the photo-documentation of historical landmarks that was popular in the late 19th century.
