G. BROGI (1822-1881), Interior of Milan Cathedral, around 1890, albumen paper print Giacomo Brogi (1822 Florence - 1881 ibid.): Interior of Milan Cathedral View through the nave to the choir, late 19th century, photograph of a painting, c. 1890, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Inscription: Lower left with embossed stamp "Brogi". Date: c. 1890 Description: Giacomo BROGI founded a photography studio in Florence in 1860, where he developed exclusive portraits as well as reproductions of works of art. He travelled to the Middle and Near East, including Palestine and Egypt, on photographic expeditions. In 1869, he presented Pope Pius IX with an album of photographs from Palestine. The same gift to King Vittorio Emanuele and Umberto I earned him the title of court photographer in 1878. In Italy, he was in competition with the Alinari brothers in Florence as well as Giorgio Sommer and Giorgio Conrad in Naples. Original photograph with high sharpness of detail. An early example of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from bourgeois circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken at great expense in terms of time and with expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site, so that they could bring back a souvenir from their holiday home or collect them as mementos. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer and the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights in their home cities and travelled themselves to photograph their customers' favourite destinations and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting the art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on copies or engravings if they were unable to view the original themselves.
