EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Saint-Ouen, Rouen, 1856," captures the stunning facade of the Church of Saint-Ouen in Rouen, France. Taken by the renowned 19th century photographer Alfred Capel-Cure, this albumen print from a wax paper negative showcases the intricate details of the church's Gothic architecture. The image transports us back in time to the 1850s, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of France during this era. The Church of Saint-Ouen, also known as the Abbey Church of Saint-Ouen, is a significant religious site in Rouen. Its impressive facade, adorned with intricate carvings and statues, stands in stark contrast against the clear blue sky. The church, which dates back to the 11th century, is a testament to the enduring influence of Christianity in France. This photograph, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of 19th century photography. Capel-Cure's masterful use of black and white tones brings out the textures and nuances of the church's exterior, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of photography or the architectural wonders of France. The image invites us to reflect on the beauty and significance of this historic site, which continues to draw visitors from around the world. Whether you are a history buff, an art enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this photograph is sure to leave a lasting impression.
