View from Notre Dame, Paris - Ernest Hass - 1955
"View from Notre Dame, Paris" was captured by pioneering color photographer Ernst Haas in 1955. Shot from the famous cathedral's observation deck, this atmospheric image perfectly encapsulates post-war Paris through Haas's masterful use of color and composition. The photograph shows two figures - one in a striking white coat - gazing out over the misty cityscape, with the Eiffel Tower rising majestically in the distance.
Haas, an early master of color photography, was known for his poetic approach to color and light. This image exemplifies his artistic vision, capturing both the intimate human element and the grand sweep of the Parisian landscape in fading evening light. The photograph's subtle color palette and dreamy quality demonstrate why Haas was considered one of the most influential color photographers of the 20th century, and why his work continues to resonate with viewers today.
