Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden (September 16, 1856 – February 16, 1931) was a German photographer who worked mainly in Italy. He is mostly known for his pastoral nude studies of Sicilian boys, which usually featured props such as wreaths or amphoras suggesting a setting in the Greece or Italy of antiquity. From a modern standpoint, his work is commendable due to his controlled use of lighting as well as the often elegant poses of his models. Innovative use of photographic filters and special body makeup (a mixture of milk, olive oil, and glycerin) to disguise skin blemishes contribute to the artistic perfection of his works.
Famous in his own day, his work was subsequently eclipsed for close to a century, only to re-emerge in recent times as "the most important gay visual artist of the pre–World War I era" according to Thomas Waugh.[2]
Taormina? Monte Etna in the background? La baia di Naxos? Beautiful!
Love the frame too!
thanks vetraio50 and thanks for the love.
its not particularly what Gloeden is know for, the area yes but not the image. I like the beauty and innocence of the two walking are in arm on the hill side and one has what seems to be a large bouquet of flowers in his hand. A touch of romance, that is why I like it.
I saw that to GlueChip, very beautiful :-)

I have seen a few German paintings on porcelain plaques of female subjects after photos by von Gloeden, painted in the Orientalist style.
Hi solver. I actually do have the book and the photograph we have is on page 68 of the book.

It is!... a beautiful scene and the frame is wonderful...:-)
I found the frame in an estate sale. It is actually two frames. The fit perfectly one inside the other and the opening of the smaller was the exact size of the image. I figured it was meant to be.
