EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Capri" takes us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically between 1870 and 1880. Captured by the talented Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer, this image offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the beauty and charm of the island of Capri. The photograph showcases a picturesque landscape with its crystal-clear blue seascape stretching out towards the horizon. Nestled amidst this natural splendor is an enchanting cityscape, where houses and structures dotting the hillsides create a harmonious blend of architecture against nature's backdrop. Intriguingly, Sommer has also managed to capture life in action within this idyllic setting. A male figure can be seen strolling along one of Capri's streets while a female elegantly stands nearby. Their fashion choices reflect the style prevalent during that era - perhaps hinting at their social status or simply showcasing their taste for refined clothing. As we immerse ourselves in this historical moment frozen in time, it becomes evident that Sommer possessed not only technical skill but also an artistic eye for capturing both grand landscapes and intimate street scenes. His ability to encapsulate such vivid details transports us effortlessly to another era. This remarkable print from Alinari allows us to appreciate how Capri was perceived over a century ago – as an oasis where nature seamlessly blended with human habitation. It serves as a testament to both Sommer's talent behind the lens and his dedication to preserving moments like these for generations to come.
