EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1900, capturing the grandeur of Hotel Beau Rivage in Geneva. The image transports us to a time when elegance and sophistication were at their peak. However, this historic hotel holds a dark secret within its walls. In 1898, tragedy struck as the Austrian Empress Elisabeth of Bavaria met her untimely demise during her stay at this very establishment. An anarchist's act of violence shattered the tranquility surrounding Hotel Beau Rivage. The chilling crime scene unfolded near the Brunswick monument, depicted on the left side of this photograph. The sepia tones add an air of nostalgia to this haunting image, emphasizing both beauty and sorrow simultaneously. Amidst all these elements lies one man standing alone on the street, his presence enigmatic yet intriguing. Hotel Beau Rivage stands tall as a silent witness to history's darkest moments. This print by Rischgitz allows us to delve into that past and contemplate how such tragic events can forever alter our perception of even the most idyllic places. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse, let us remember not only its aesthetic value but also pay homage to those whose lives were forever changed within these hallowed halls.
