EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Le Nouvel Opera de Paris (Sculpture Ornementale), 1865-72" captures the grandeur and intricate beauty of the iconic opera house in Paris. Taken by Louis-Emile Durandelle during the late 19th century, this albumen silver print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship that went into creating this architectural masterpiece. The image transports us to a time when artisans like stonemasons dedicated their skills to shaping and chiseling every ornamental detail of this neo-baroque structure. The sheer scale of the building is awe-inspiring, with its elaborate carvings adorning every corner. It stands as a testament to both human creativity and engineering prowess. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that France holds within its borders. The Opera de Paris symbolizes not only entertainment but also serves as an emblematic representation of French artistry. Durandelle's composition skillfully captures the exterior of the opera house against a backdrop of bustling city life in Paris. People can be seen going about their daily routines, oblivious to the magnificence surrounding them. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only Durandelle's technical mastery but also pays homage to those who labored tirelessly behind-the-scenes - craftsmen whose dedication brought forth such breathtaking creations for generations to come.
