Standbeeld in de Salon de la Paix in het Palais des Tuileries te Parijs before 1871

This stereoscopic image captures a sculpture within the Salon de la Paix in the Palais des Tuileries, Paris, and was created by Ernest Eléonor Pierre Lamy. The photograph presents an intricate play of lines and forms, organized within a symmetrical composition typical of its era. Light and shadow define the contours of the sculpture, accentuating its texture and volume, creating a sense of depth and space. The interior's structural elements, such as columns and paneled walls, contribute to an overall feeling of classical order, while the mirrors reflect and extend the visual field, blurring the boundaries of the physical space. The careful arrangement of objects, coupled with a subdued tonal range, evokes a sense of calm. Lamy's choice of a stereoscopic medium enhances the viewer's perception, inviting a deeper consideration of how photographic techniques can shape our understanding of architectural and sculptural forms.
