EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-107773-0000 Allegories of the senses: vision" takes us back to the early 1920s. The image is a fascinating depiction of various elements related to vision and perception. In this snapshot, we see a couple dressed in elegant eighteenth-century attire, fully immersed in their roles as they pose for the camera. Their costumes are meticulously detailed, showcasing the fashion and clothing trends of that era. The woman's hairdo and hairstyle complement her overall look beautifully. The composition highlights several objects symbolizing different aspects of visual perception. A gesture captured mid-air suggests communication through hand movements, while an instrument held by one of them hints at music's connection with sight. Additionally, makeup products scattered around allude to beauty treatments associated with enhancing one's appearance. Beyond physical appearances, this photograph delves into deeper psychological and physiological dimensions related to vision. It explores how our sense of sight influences our individual experiences and emotions - from laughter-filled smiles to moments masked behind masquerades. The image invites contemplation on the role vision plays in shaping our understanding of ourselves and others within society. It encourages reflection on how perceptions can be influenced by external factors such as fashion choices or cultural norms. Although we do not know who exactly created this thought-provoking piece, it is evident that it was crafted with great care and attention to detail by an unidentified author affiliated with Alinari. As we gaze upon this intriguing snapshot frozen in time almost a century ago, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back into history while sparking curiosity about human perception throughout the ages.
