EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of B. Bergami, a man whose name became synonymous with scandal in the early 19th century. Created by Charles-Philibert de Lasteyrie, this portrait showcases Bartolommeo Bergami, an Italian servant and companion to Queen Caroline. Bergami's association with Queen Caroline was at the center of a notorious adultery affair that shook the royal court. The alleged relationship between them provided King George IV with grounds to dissolve his marriage to Caroline and strip her of her title. This image is part of an album containing portraits and satirical caricatures related to Queen Caroline's trial in 1820. In this photograph, Bergami exudes an air of mystery as he gazes directly into the camera lens. His curly hair frames his face, while his attire suggests a man of importance - perhaps reflecting his rise from humble origins as a servant. The intricate earring adorning Bergami's ear adds a touch of elegance to his appearance, hinting at hidden depths within him. It serves as a reminder that even those who occupy positions behind closed doors can become entangled in high-stakes drama. This image transports us back to a time when scandals rocked royal households and ignited public intrigue across Europe. It invites us to ponder the complexities surrounding love, loyalty, power dynamics, and societal expectations during this tumultuous period in history.
