EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Goat-Herd" we are transported back to the year 1926 on the picturesque island of Capraia, Italy. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing not only the stunning landscape but also providing a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants. The focal point of the photograph is a humble house nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery. Its simple yet sturdy structure stands as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who call this place home. In front of the house stands a laundress, her apron tied securely around her waist, diligently tending to her work. But it is not just human activity that catches our attention; our eyes are drawn towards a group of goats being skillfully guided by their attentive shepherdess. With an air of tranquility surrounding them, they traverse through river courses and meandering paths, creating an enchanting scene against Tuscany's breathtaking backdrop. This portrait offers us more than just an idyllic view; it provides insight into both culture and heritage. It serves as a window into European origins and showcases how people have harmoniously coexisted with nature for generations. Through anthropology, ethnography, and folklore lens, we can appreciate how these Europeans have shaped their lives according to their surroundings. Photographer Balocchi Vincenzo has masterfully captured this slice-of-life moment from Alinari's collection without any mention or intention for commercial use. Instead, he invites us to immerse ourselves in this timeless scene where simplicity meets beauty - reminding us that sometimes it is in life's simplest moments that true joy can be found.
