Exterieur van de Basilica di San Eustorgio in Milaan c. 1875 - 1900

This photograph by Fratelli Alinari, taken between 1875 and 1900, depicts the Basilica di San Eustorgio in Milan. A prominent example of 19th-century Italian architectural photography, the image shows a detailed view of the Basilica's facade, with the bell tower and a side chapel captured in the composition. The photograph, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the Alinari brothers' pioneering work in documenting Italian art and architecture through the medium of photography. This type of photographic documentation was a key component of the rise of art history as a discipline.
