Amiens

Édouard Baldus

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a cityscape. The cityscape features a large cathedral in the center, with a tall spire. The cathedral has a Gothic architectural style, with pointed arches and ribbed vaults visible on its facade. The cathedral's facade is under scaffolding on the left side. In the foreground, there are many buildings with steeply pitched roofs and chimneys. The buildings appear to be densely packed together. The photograph is taken from a high vantage point, looking over the rooftops of the city. The background shows a line of trees and a hazy sky. The image is titled "Amiens" and attributed to Édouard Baldus.
