EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "At the fountain, Naples" we are transported back in time to the streets of Naples in approximately 1895. The image captures a poignant scene at a bustling fountain, where children gather to quench their thirst and perhaps find solace amidst the challenges of poverty. The architectural beauty of the hydraulic structure takes center stage, with its intricate design and grandeur serving as a stark contrast to the surrounding social conditions. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing Alinari's keen eye for capturing both structural elements and human emotions. A young child becomes the focal point of this composition, standing beside an old bucket filled with water from the fountain. Their clothing reflects not only their humble circumstances but also provides insight into fashion trends prevalent during that era. This portrait serves as a powerful reminder of how societal factors influence our choices in attire. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph delves deeper into themes related to society and politics. It sheds light on issues such as poverty and social inequality that plagued Naples during that period. Through Alinari's lens, we witness an intimate glimpse into everyday life – one that prompts us to reflect upon our own privileges while empathizing with those less fortunate. Alinari Fratelli's masterful storytelling through photography allows us to connect emotionally with historical moments like these. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be moved by its ability to transcend time and bridge gaps between past and present realities.
