EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shepherds" takes us back in time to the rural landscapes of Italy in 1931. The image, captured by the talented photographer Domenico Riccardo Peretti Griva, beautifully portrays a scene filled with shepherds immersed in their daily work and vocation. In this picturesque countryside setting, we see a group of shepherds tending to their flock amidst rolling hills and lush green fields. Their weathered faces tell tales of hard work and dedication as they navigate through the challenges that come with farming and country life. Each shepherd exudes a sense of tranquility and connection with nature, showcasing an intimate bond between humans and animals. The composition is further enhanced by the presence of traditional Italian houses nestled against the backdrop of this idyllic landscape. These simple yet sturdy structures reflect the architecture prevalent during that era, seamlessly blending into their surroundings while providing shelter for those who call them home. Peretti Griva's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this timeless photograph, evoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when life revolved around close-knit communities built on hard work and mutual support. "Shepherds" serves as a poignant reminder of our deep-rooted connection to nature, highlighting how these individuals dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to their vocation despite its challenges. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty found within this particular moment frozen in time but also the enduring spirit embodied by those who have chosen such noble professions throughout history. This remarkable piece from Alinari captures both the essence of Italian rural life in 1931 as well as our universal appreciation for hard work, tradition, and harmony with nature – themes that continue to resonate even today.
