An evocative black and white image shows Notre-Dame Cathedral rising on the Ile de la Cite, with its iconic Gothic towers dominating the Parisian landscape. The Seine flows in the foreground, while the bare winter trees create a natural frame for the cathedral. The cloudy sky adds drama to the composition, enhancing the vertical lines of Gothic architecture. Built over nearly two centuries starting from 1163, Notre-Dame represents one of the greatest masterpieces of French Gothic. This classic perspective from the left bank of the Seine is one of Paris's most photographed views.
