EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "[Portrait of Living Man beside Dead Man], ca. 1850" takes us back to the 19th century and provides a glimpse into a poignant moment frozen in time. Created by Louis Dodero, an Italian photographer, this hand-coloured daguerreotype captures the essence of life and death. In this image, we see two men standing side by side - one alive and one deceased. The living man's expression is filled with both sorrow and contemplation as he gazes upon his departed companion. The hand tinting adds a touch of color to their faces, giving them an almost lifelike quality despite being captured on film over a century ago. Dodero's work showcases his skill in capturing not only people but also emotions within his photography. This particular portrait evokes feelings of loss and mortality while highlighting the fragility of human existence. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph stands out among other artworks from its era due to its unusual subject matter. It serves as a reminder that art can transcend time and connect us with our shared humanity across centuries. Louis Dodero's "[Portrait of Living Man beside Dead Man]" invites viewers to reflect on life's transience while appreciating the beauty found even in moments tinged with sadness.
