EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic portrait of Giuseppe Garibaldi, a revered Italian military leader and nationalist hero. Taken by Gustave Le Gray, a renowned French photographer, in June 1860, this albumen silver print captures the essence of Garibaldi's charismatic persona. The photograph was taken in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, during a significant period in Italian history when Garibaldi played a pivotal role in the unification movement known as Risorgimento. In this portrait, Garibaldi exudes determination and strength with his piercing gaze and resolute expression. The impeccable craftsmanship of Le Gray is evident through his masterful use of lighting and composition to highlight every detail of Garibaldi's face. Le Gray's choice to create an albumen silver print adds depth and richness to the image while preserving its historical authenticity. This technique involves coating paper with egg white (albumen) mixed with salt before sensitizing it with silver nitrate. The resulting print has a subtle sepia tone that enhances the vintage charm. The Liszt Collection proudly presents this remarkable piece from their extensive archives. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece capturing one man's indomitable spirit and as a testament to the enduring legacy of Giuseppe Garibaldi within Italian history. Whether displayed in homes or galleries worldwide, this print offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the life of one of Italy's most revered figures.
