EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of portraits of German and Italian criminals, meticulously gathered by the renowned Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso in his groundbreaking work "The Criminal Man" published in 1875. The album, captured by an unknown photographer during the 19th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into Lombroso's pioneering research on criminal anthropology. Each portrait tells a unique story, revealing the faces of individuals who have fallen into lives of crime. Through these images, Lombroso sought to explore the correlation between physical characteristics and criminal behavior. This practice known as anthropometry aimed to identify distinct facial features or bodily traits that could potentially indicate predispositions towards criminality. As we delve into this intriguing visual archive, it becomes evident that each photograph holds profound knowledge about human nature and societal dynamics. These hauntingly intimate portraits serve as windows into the complex world of criminology and offer insights into the minds of malefactors from different cultural backgrounds. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved this historical artifact within his private collection, ensuring its significance endures for generations to come. As we gaze upon these faces frozen in time, we are reminded not only of their past deeds but also prompted to reflect on broader questions surrounding crime prevention and rehabilitation. This remarkable print is a testament to both artistic excellence and intellectual curiosity—a testament that continues to captivate viewers with its blend of history, anthropology, photography, and learned exploration into what makes us human.
