EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled ""Lazzarone" (Neapolitan homeless beggar). Naples" transports us back to 1865, capturing a poignant moment in time. The image, taken by the talented photographer Giorgio Sommer, showcases his ability to capture the raw essence of human life. In this portrait, we see a Neapolitan homeless beggar known as "Lazzarone". His weathered face tells a story of struggle and hardship. His tattered hat and worn-out clothing are symbols of poverty and destitution that plagued many during this era. Sommer's photograph not only serves as an individual representation but also sheds light on broader social conditions prevalent at the time. It brings attention to issues such as homelessness, precariousness, and penury that affected countless individuals within society. The composition is strikingly beautiful yet evokes a sense of melancholy. Lazzarone rests against a basket filled with straw, perhaps finding solace in its meager comfort. This scene serves as an allegory for the challenges faced by those living on the fringes of society. Through this photograph, Sommer captures both physiological and psychological aspects of Lazzarone's existence. It prompts us to reflect upon our own privilege while raising awareness about societal inequalities that persist today. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate photography not just as art but also as a powerful medium for storytelling and social commentary.
