Summary[edit]

Description

Italiano: Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931), Terra del fuoco. Una delle foto più celebri e maggiormente riprodotte di Gloeden. Presenta una veduta sul Vesuvio dalla terrazza di Villa Barbaja usata da Gloeden e dal cugino Wilhelm von Pluschow a Posillipo (Napoli), con cinque modelli nudi. Lo sfondo è stato pesantemente ridipinto sul negativo. Numero di catalogo: G 0045 del catalogo dei grandi formati (cm 28,5x38,1). La presente versione conserva il lato sinistro, tagliato nella versione più diffusa perché conteneva un modello che si è mosso durante lo scatto. Lapresenza nel gruppo dei modelli del taorminese Pasquale, che fu portato in gita a Napoli da Gloeden e posò anche per il cugino Wilhelm von Plueschow, permette di datare queste foto, visto che Pasquale posò a Pompei in una domus aperta al pubblico nel 1896, per foto pubblicate nel marzo 1898. Ciò implica che le foto in cui appare Pasquale risalgano al 1896 o al 1897.
English: Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931), Land of Fire. One of the most famous and republished images by Gloeden. It shows a view upon the Vesuvius from Posillipo (Naples) from the terrace at Villa Barbaja used by both Gloeden and by his cousin Wilhelm von Pluschow. The background Vesuvius was heavily retouched, almost repainted, on the glass negative. Catalogue number: G 0045 of the special size catalogue (cm 28,5x38,1). This print contains the left side, usually sliced away because a model moved during the shot. Among the models features Pasquale, from Taormina, who was brought along by Gloeden and who on the occasion posed also for his cousin, Wilhelm von Plueschow. Which allows us to date this set of images, since Pasquale posed in a Roman Villa at Pompaeii opened to visitors in 1896, for a set which was printed in March 1898. Which implies the images featuring him in Naples date either from 1896 or from summer 1897.
