Notre Dame Night 1, Paris, France, Edition 1/9

NOTRE DAME NIGHT 1 – PARIS, FRANCE | GERALD BERGHAMMER
Notre Dame Night 1 is a black-and-white fine art photograph by Austrian photographer Gerald Berghammer, capturing the illuminated Notre-Dame Cathedral beside the River Seine in Paris, France. The composition reveals the architectural grandeur of this historic Gothic landmark, where the monumental cathedral rises above the riverbank against a dramatic night sky.

The illuminated Notre-Dame Cathedral dominates the composition, its intricate stonework and distinctive Gothic architecture contrasting with the deep shadows of the surrounding cityscape. Luminous trails created through long-exposure photography introduce a subtle sense of movement along the Seine, while the sharply defined architectural details establish a powerful visual contrast. Restrained monochrome tones, delicate tonal transitions and carefully balanced light and shadow emphasise the cathedral's monumental presence, lending the photograph a timeless, contemplative quality.

Photographed in 2017 and printed in 2017 as a traditional gelatin silver print on baryta paper, the work reflects Berghammer's approach to architectural and night photography, emphasising precise composition, refined tonal control and the evocative interplay of light, structure and atmosphere. Captured before the devastating fire of 2019, the photograph preserves a distinctive nocturnal view of Notre-Dame Cathedral, transforming this iconic Parisian landmark into a contemplative study of architecture, history and the passage of time.

This original print, Edition 1/9, has previously been exhibited and is offered as the existing physical artwork in its original presentation. Signed, numbered and dated, the photograph is housed in a handmade dark-brown wooden frame with a natural-white archival mount and anti-reflective glass offering 70% UV protection. The framed work is ready to hang and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
