Description
  • Italiano: Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931), "Erminio". Autoritratto come gladiatore (reziario), al teatro greco di Taormina. Numero di catalogo: 0108 B. Cm 12x17. Il titolo richiama la figura di Gaius Iulius Arminius, che sconfisse i Romani nella battagli di Teutoburgo. Il suo nome era tradotto in tedesco come "Hermann", che era il nome del padre di Gloeden. Non risulta peraltro che egli abbia mai combattuto come gladiatore.
Già nella collezione Texbraun, cortesia della Galerie David Guiraud, Paris. Timbrata e datata: "Deponirt - 1 Aug 1900", ma l'immagine è stata prodotta entro il 1893, quando uno scatto che include Gloeden nel medesimo travestimento fu pubblicato nell'articolo di Ludwig Pietsch (1824-1911), Kunst und Photographie, sulla "Velhagen & Klasings Monatshefte", 1893-94, p. 393. Lo scatto appartiene a un servizio al quale partecipò anche l'amico fotografo Giovanni Crupi, che nel suo catalogo ha una foto identica a un'altra di Gloeden, riproponendo addirittura lo stesso numero di catalogo di Gloeden.
  • English: Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931), "Arminius". Self-portrait as a gladiator (retiarius), at the Greek theater of Taormina. Catalogue number: 0108 B. Cm 12x17. The title recalls Gaius Iulius Arminius, who defeated the Romans in the battle of Teutoburg. His name was translated into German as "Hermann", which was the name of Gloeden's father. However, we have no information about him ever figthing as a gladiator.
Formerly in the Texbraun collection, courtesy Galerie David Guiraud, Paris. Stamped and dated: "Deponirt - 1 Aug 1900", but the images was shot within 1893, when a shot including Gloeden in the same disguise was published in the article by Ludwig Pietsch (1824-1911), Kunst und Photographie, in the "Velhagen & Klasings Monatshefte", 1893-94, p. 393. The shot belongs to a shoot in which Gloeden's friend Giovanni Crupi also participated, who in his catalogue he has a photo identical to another of Gloeden, even featuring the same catalogue number as Gloeden's.
Date Within 1893.
