EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of renowned writer Alessandro Manzoni in his later years. The half-length portrait showcases a distinguished old man, with wisdom etched on his face and a lifetime of literary accomplishments evident in his eyes. Alessandro Manzoni, born in 1785 and passing away in 1873, was an influential figure in the world of literature. Known for his masterpiece "I Promessi Sposi" (The Betrothed), Manzoni's contribution to Italian literature is immeasurable. This photograph, taken between 1865 and 1870, provides a rare glimpse into the later stages of his life. Manzoni's attire reflects both his refined taste and the fashion trends of that era. He wears a bowtie meticulously tied around his neck, exuding sophistication and elegance. Every detail seems carefully chosen - from the tie to other accessories adorning him - showcasing not only personal style but also attention to detail that likely extended to all aspects of his work. The unidentified author behind this remarkable image has skillfully captured Manzoni's personality through their lens. The portrait radiates an aura of intellectual prowess as well as humility befitting such a celebrated writer. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Alinari, we are reminded not only of Alessandro Manzoni's significant contributions to humanistic disciplines but also how he left an indelible mark on Italian literature. His legacy lives on through works that continue to inspire generations after generations.
