EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Portrait of Domenico Lo Giudice nicknamed 'U'Barbireddu' with mandolin" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Taormina. Captured between 1890-1900 by the talented Wilhelm von Gloeden, this portrait exudes a sense of elegance and artistic flair. The subject of the photograph, Domenico Lo Giudice, is portrayed as a dashing young man with an air of confidence. He stands on a terrace adorned with intricate building elements and decorative sections that add depth to the composition. His fashion choices are impeccable - wearing a bowtie and tie that perfectly complement his stylish attire. In his hands, Lo Giudice holds a mandolin, an instrument synonymous with passion and music. The mandolin becomes not only an object but also a symbol representing creativity and artistic expression. Gloeden's keen eye for detail is evident in every aspect of this portrait. From Lo Giudice's poised stance to the carefully arranged vase beside him, each element contributes to the overall aesthetic appeal. The photographer masterfully captures both the physical features and inner essence of his subject. Although it remains uncertain whether this image is a self-portrait or not, Gloeden's ability to capture such raw emotion makes it feel deeply personal regardless. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we are transported back in time; we can almost hear melodies floating through the air as Lo Giudice strums his mandolin under Sicily's warm sun. This photograph serves as both a testament to Gloeden's talent behind the lens and as an enduring tribute to Domenico Lo Giudice himself – forever immortalized in this mesmerizing work of art.
