Gothic perfection of Notre-Dame

The richly decorated west facade of Notre-Dame de Paris displays the refinement of French Gothic architecture in minute detail. The imposing rose window, the gallery of statues of kings, and the graceful arches combine to form an architectural masterpiece. In the background, the glass pyramid of the Louvre subtly appears, bringing two icons of Paris together in a single image. The black-and-white rendering places full emphasis on the forms, patterns, and centuries-old details.
