EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Don Alfonso d'Este, 1882," is a stunning representation of the Duke of Ferrara, Alfonso I d'Este, captured by the skilled lens of French photographer Gaston Theodore Melingue. The image transports us back in time, as Alfonso, dressed in formal attire, sits confidently in front of the imposing Ducal Palace in Ferrara, Italy. The fifteenth-century building, with its intricate architecture and grandeur, serves as a fitting backdrop for the Duke, who was known for his love of entertainment and the arts. Alfonso I d'Este, born in 1471, was a prominent figure in the Italian Renaissance. He was the son of Ercole I d'Este and Eleonora of Aragon and the father of Lucrezia Borgia. Melingue's photograph captures the Duke's regal presence, as he holds a key, symbolizing his authority and power. The image is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the Este family and the city of Ferrara. Melingue, a renowned French photographer, expertly captured this portrait, which is now part of the collection at the Maison de Victor Hugo in Paris. The photograph, with its timeless quality and exquisite detail, invites us to explore the stories of the past and the enduring legacy of the Duke of Ferrara.
