A stunning portrait of Antonio Cesarini, known to those who loved him (including the painter Jaques d'Adelswärd-Fersen) as Nino, photographed by Guglielmo Plüschow on the terrace of Villa Lysis, Capri. A timeless masculine beauty, made truly everlasting in these bewitching photographs from around 1905 - this is an especially large and lovely copy, do click through for a closer look!
I’ve featured a version of this image before, usually I endeavour to avoid repeats but this time I think you may agree it worthwhile : in my first copy there was some careful editing to preserve his modesty with a deep darkened shadow, here we see the unspoilt original.
