EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print captures the enigmatic and brooding presence of Torquato Tasso (1544-1595), the renowned Italian poet and writer. Known as Tasso de' Morghen in his native Italy, he is depicted here in deep contemplation, his furrowed brow and intense gaze conveying the depth of his literary genius. Born in the northern Italian city of Bisceglie, Tasso was a prolific writer whose works spanned various genres, including poetry, drama, and historical fiction. He is best known for his epic poem "Gerusalemme Liberata" (Jerusalem Delivered), which recounts the First Crusade and features the legendary characters of Tancred and Clorinda. Tasso's literary career was marked by both triumphs and tragedies. He was hailed as a national hero and a shining light of Italian culture, but he also faced numerous challenges and controversies. He was confined to a mental institution for a time due to a dispute with the Duke of Ferrara over the interpretation of one of his poems. Despite these challenges, Tasso continued to write and produce works that have endured through the centuries. This photograph print, with its hauntingly beautiful image of Tasso, serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and fascinating life of this great Italian writer. It invites us to delve deeper into the world of Tasso's literature and to appreciate the depth and richness of the Italian literary tradition.
