EDITORS COMMENTS
In this half-length portrait, we are transported back to the mid-19th century as we gaze upon Luigi di Braganca, the illustrious King of Portugal. Ascending to the throne in 1861 and reigning until his passing in 1889, Luigi's regal presence is beautifully captured by photographer Pietro Barell. Dressed impeccably in a military uniform that exudes power and authority, Luigi embodies the essence of armed forces and military life. The intricate details of his attire showcase both fashion and functionality, highlighting the importance placed on clothing within military circles during this era. With an air of confidence emanating from him, Luigi gazes directly into the camera lens with piercing eyes that seem to hold countless stories. His strong jawline and neatly groomed facial hair further enhance his commanding presence. The photograph was taken between 1864-1866 when photography was still a relatively new art form. Despite its age, this print has managed to preserve every nuance of detail with remarkable clarity. It serves as a testament not only to Barell's skill behind the lens but also to Alinari's dedication to preserving historical moments through their prints. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be captivated by Luigi di Braganca's charisma and poise. This image offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever etched in history – an era where monarchs ruled with grace and elegance while navigating turbulent times. This print by Pietro Barell serves as a timeless reminder of royalty personified – a tribute not only to King Luigi but also to all those who have dedicated their lives in service for their country.
