EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing face of Ermete Novelli, a renowned Italian theater actor from the late 19th to early 20th century. The postcard, captured between 1905 and 1915 in Italy by Varischi & Artico Fotografia, immortalizes Novelli's striking features with incredible detail. Novelli's piercing gaze draws you into his world as he effortlessly embodies the essence of theatrical artistry. His expressive eyes convey a depth of emotion that captivates viewers, leaving them yearning for more. With every line etched on his face, one can sense the countless stories he has brought to life on stage. The photograph not only focuses on Novelli's face but also reveals parts of his body in an intimate yet tasteful manner. The artist masterfully captures the male form with grace and dignity, showcasing both vulnerability and strength within this portrait. As an actor deeply immersed in his craft, Novelli is depicted holding a book—a symbol of knowledge and storytelling—emphasizing his dedication to the performing arts. Behind him stands a tent-like object that adds an intriguing element to the composition; perhaps it represents the transient nature of theater or hints at hidden layers within Novelli's persona. Varischi & Artico Fotografia have expertly framed this image, allowing us to appreciate every nuance and contour of Novelli's countenance. Their skillful use of light and shadow enhances each feature while preserving an air of mystery around this enigmatic figure. This print serves as a timeless tribute to Ermete Novelli's legacy as one of Italy's most celebrated actors. It invites us into his world—an invitation we gladly accept—to witness firsthand the magic he conjured upon stages throughout his illustrious career.
