Amiens, 1855. Creator: Edouard Baldus (French, 1813-1889)
Amiens, 1855. This rare, majestic, and sweeping view of the cathedral of Amiens, France, is an outstanding example of Balduss genius for photographing architecture. Placing his large view camera at an elevated vantage point, he recorded the dominating and central position of the church, which was undergoing restoration, as it towered above the surrounding village; open landscape is captured in the distance. In this ambitious composition, he carefully rendered the scenes textural detail, spatial complexity, and subtlety of light. Compare this distant view with the close-up detail of a stone sculpture in LeSecqs photograph of the same building (CMA 1996.253)
