Description
This is a reproduction of “Dejected Young Athenian”, a painting based on an early photograph of Wilhelm von Gloeden of about 1905. Wilhelm von Gloeden was born in 1856 in Wismar, Germany and studied painting in 1876 until he was forced to leave due to tuberculosis. He went to Italy for his health and, except for three years during the First World War, settled in Taormina, Sicily. He became famous for his nude photographs of young men and was scrupulous in sharing his profits with his models. He exhibited in London, Cairo, Berlin, Philadelphia, Budapest, Marseilles, Nice, Riga and Rome. He died in 1931 in Taormina. This image portrays a scene of a young Athenian epheobos dejected after his time in the palaistra, or wrestling school. The original is an oil on canvas and measures 20 by 15 inches and is mounted on wooden bars. It is in the possession of the artist.
