Discover the captivating beauty of Reinhard Görner's photography with The Long Room, an awe-inspiring vista into the Old Library at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. This iconic photograph is not only visually stunning, but also evokes a contemplative stillness, inviting viewers to ponder the intersecting realms of art, architecture, and knowledge. Embodying the peaceful grandeur of one of the world's most beautiful libraries, The Long Room stands as a tribute to the rich interplay between aesthetic beauty and the human thirst for knowledge, as well as the exciting contrast between emotional and intellectual resonance. Visual description: This revered hall is one of the most magnificent library spaces in the world, renowned for its dramatic barrel-vaulted ceiling and the historical aura that permeates its walls. Lined with tall, dark wooden shelves brimming with ancient tomes, the room is a treasure trove of knowledge, housing 200,000 of the Library's oldest books. A symphony of wood, the polished oak bookcases adorned with gilded lettering stand as sentinels of history, each carrying the weight of centuries of scholarly work. Above, the vaulted ceiling soars, crafted from oak and imbued with the warm, golden light that streams in, casting a serene ambiance throughout the room. The central aisle runs the impressive length of the room, flanked by white marble busts of philosophers, writers, and great minds who have shaped the intellectual landscape of the Western world, adding a sense of gravitas and continuity to the space. This library is not just a haven for books but also a grandiose example of classical architecture, with the rhythm of the arches and columns providing a structural cadence that resonates with the tranquility and dignity of an institution dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. The Long Room's harmonious proportions and the sense of infinite possibility evoked by the seemingly endless rows of books are a captivating homage to the world of academia. It's a space that feels both timeless and filled with the presence of the countless readers and scholars who have passed through its domain over the centuries. This image captures the essence of a truly iconic space within the realm of global cultural heritage. 60 x 75 inches ed. of 7 $9,000 70 x 87.5 inches ed. of 5 $11,000 signed and numbered on label, verso Reinhard Görner, with his large format photographs orchestrates the monumentality of rooms. An active architecture photographer since 1985, is a master of perspectives and precise spatial compositions, and he thus considers classical sculpture, in all of its possible facets, a special challenge. "Görner’s photographs sometimes open the doors to another world and take the viewer with them on a journey through time. Here the palace is no longer a museum but both royal residence and a site steeped in history. The viewer does not have to share the halls with the masses of visitors; instead the images offer him exclusive impressions of the Galerie des Glaces (Hall of Mirrors) and the Galerie des Batailles (Hall of Battles) as even the king of France was probably never granted. The halls are empty of people, yet they seem to be able to unfurl their individual characters of their own accord. These places practically breathe history, and this aspect is also part of the essence captured in the photographs. King Wilhelm of Prussia was named German Emperor Wilhelm I in the Hall of Mirrors after France was defeated in 1870–1871 in the Franco-German War. The Treaty of Versailles following World War I was also signed there in 1919. In this sense, the architectural photographs of Versailles...

Reinhard Görner captures the monumentality of the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale's principal repository for literary archives, early manuscripts, and rare books. 3 sizes, below. The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library is the rare book library and literary archive of the Yale University Library in New Haven, Connecticut. Situated on Yale University's Hewitt Quadrangle, the building was designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and completed in 1963. The building has been called a "jewel box", and also a "laboratory for the humanities". The Modernist structure contains furniture designed by Florence Knoll and Marcel Breuer. It is one of the largest buildings in the world entirely dedicated to rare books and manuscripts. An elevated public exhibition mezzanine surrounds the glass stack tower, and displays among other things, one of the 48 extant copies of the Gutenberg Bible. Two basement floors extend under much of Hewitt Quadrangle. The first sub-grade level, the "Court" level, centers on a sunken courtyard in front of the Beinecke, which features The Garden (Pyramid, Sun, and Cube). These are abstract allegorical sculptures by Isamu Noguchi that are said to represent time (the pyramid), sun (the disc), and chance (the cube). German large-scale photographer Reinhard Görner is known for his stunning, monumental-scale photography, which combine a sense of grandness with intimacy. He was born in 1950 in Leipzig, Germany, and he lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
