EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic figure of Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Italian patriot and military leader, in a portrait taken by the renowned French photographer Nadar, also known as Gaspard-Félix Tournachon, under his professional name, in 1878. The image, titled "Garibaldi by Chartran," is a testament to the enduring legacy of this revolutionary figure in Italian history. Born on July 4, 1807, in Nice, then part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Garibaldi rose to prominence as a military leader in the Italian unification movement. He is best known for his role in the Expedition of the Thousand, a volunteer army he led to conquer the southern Italian kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1860. This pivotal event marked the beginning of the end of the Bourbon monarchy and the eventual unification of Italy under the House of Savoy. Garibaldi's charisma and military prowess made him a symbol of the Italian Risorgimento, the period of Italian history marked by the movement for the restoration of the Italian peninsula to a strong, independent state. In this photograph, Garibaldi is depicted in military uniform, his piercing gaze fixed on the horizon, exuding an aura of determination and strength. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the indomitable spirit of the Italian people and their quest for freedom and unity. The photograph was taken in 1878, a decade after the unification of Italy, and serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Garibaldi's legacy on the Italian people and their history. The photograph was taken by Nadar, a pioneering figure in the world of photography, who was known for his innovative techniques and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This photograph of Garibaldi is a prime example of Nadar's skill and artistry, and a valuable addition to the historical record of one of Italy's most beloved and influential figures.
