EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the esteemed Victor Emmanuel II of Italy (1820-1878) surrounded by a group of hunters in the picturesque Valsavaranche, Valle d'Aosta. Taken around 1860, this portrait offers a glimpse into the life of one of Italy's most influential political figures. In this scene, Victor Emmanuel II stands tall and regal amidst his companions, exuding an air of authority and power. Dressed in traditional hunting attire, he embodies both elegance and strength. The group is gathered outside a tent-like structure that serves as their temporary shelter during their hunting expedition. The photograph not only showcases the human subjects but also highlights the presence of terrestrial mammals such as dogs accompanying them on their adventure. These loyal creatures add an element of liveliness to the composition. Montabone Luigi's expert eye for detail is evident in every aspect captured within this image - from the intricate architecture of the movable tent to each individual's meticulously crafted clothing and fashion choices. The men are seen holding pickaxes, symbolizing their connection with nature and perhaps hinting at their noble status. Victor Emmanuel II himself commands attention with his distinguished beard and commanding presence. As King Emperor during a crucial period in Italian history, he played a pivotal role in shaping society and politics. This remarkable print allows us to step back into history for just a moment - witnessing not only famous personalities but also gaining insight into societal norms, fashion trends, and even leisure activities enjoyed by those belonging to nobility during that era.
