Bibliothèque Mazarine via Yvon Lambert
The pictures have an imposing format and bring the traditional notion and perspective of “a picture as a windowâ€. The viewer has the impression of privileged solitude in these usually crowded places thanks to those pictures which represent those famous places empty.
