About the Artwork

The art of photography lies in its ability to enhance our awareness of human experience and broaden our perception of eras and civilizations from the past. French photographers were among the first to photograph architecture and cities extensively. These images reflect the significance of architecture as a means of expressing a place’s unique character and history as well as the endurance and changing nature of cities. In 1854, Auguste Salzmann photographed early Christian architecture to aid with the research and dating of buildings in the Holy Land, including this detail from a church founded on the site where Christians believe Jesus died.
