In this print titled "Portrait of gondolier in the typical fashion of the eighteenth century Venetian" captured around 1900, we are transported back in time to the enchanting canals of Venice. The image showcases a gondolier, dressed impeccably in traditional attire that echoes the elegant fashion trends of the 18th century. The gondolier stands proudly, exuding a sense of confidence and expertise in his vocation. His clothing is meticulously crafted, with every detail reflecting both style and functionality. A beret adorns his head, adding a touch of sophistication to his overall appearance. This headdress serves as a symbol not only of his profession but also as an emblematic accessory that distinguishes him from others. The portrait captures not just a person but also reveals glimpses into Venetian culture and history. It offers us insight into how transportation was conducted through these picturesque waterways during this era. The gondola itself becomes an integral part of the composition, acting as both backdrop and method of transportation for our subject. Photographer Pietro Bertoja skillfully captures the essence and spirit of this scene with remarkable attention to detail. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for tradition and heritage. This extraordinary photograph by Bertoja transports us across time and space while celebrating Venetian customs and aesthetics.
