L'Offerta (The Offering)Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856 - 1931)Taormina, Sicily, Italy (Place Created)Date: 1902Medium: Albumen silver print“Von Gloeden left Germany and settled in a coastal town in Sicily, where he took up photography. His subjects were young native boys, whom he often photographed nude in classical compositions. Rather than reenact specific historical or literary scenes, von Gloeden mused nostalgically on the ancient Greek and Roman ancestry of his attractive models.” -- source link
