Kapiteel van de kathedraal de Notre-Dame te Rouen c. 1875 - 1900

Médéric Mieusement's "Kapiteel van de kathedraal de Notre-Dame te Rouen" (c. 1875-1900) is a striking photographic study of a Romanesque architectural detail from the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Rouen, France. This black and white photograph, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, focuses on the intricate carvings of a capital, showcasing the delicate craftsmanship of medieval stonework and the ornate floral motifs that were common in Gothic art. The image's focus on details, like the intertwined vines and circular patterns, reflects the prevailing interest in historicism and the revival of traditional architectural styles during the late 19th century.
