EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a moment of leisure and luxury on the Isle of Capri, off Naples, Italy in 1939. Despite the unsettled life in Europe at that time, the slow pace of life on this picturesque island remained unchanged. Socialites can be seen enjoying an aquatic luncheon served in the cool waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
Swimming waiters are pushing out floating tables laden with delicious meals, including wine and spaghetti, creating a unique dining experience for the guests. In the background, the iconic rocks of Faraglioni rise majestically from the sea, adding to the stunning backdrop of this idyllic scene.
Hamilton Wright's photograph beautifully captures not just a moment in time but also a sense of escapism and indulgence. The juxtaposition of luxury against a backdrop of uncertainty highlights how even during tumultuous times, people sought solace and relaxation in beautiful surroundings.
This image serves as a reminder that amidst chaos and turmoil, there are moments of tranquility and beauty worth cherishing. It transports us to a different era where carefree enjoyment was still possible despite looming uncertainties. The Floating Luncheon on Capri is not just a meal but an experience that embodies elegance and sophistication against nature's breathtaking backdrop.
