Opis:
Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931), Portrait of a gentleman playing a mandolin on the staircase of Gloeden's villa in Taormina. Catalogue number: 2417. A portrait of the same sitter was first recognised as showing Gloeden's cousin, the photographer Wilhelm von Plüschow (1852-1930) in 1997, in the antiquarian catalogue # 5 by Serge Planteux, item # 193, and since accepted. However, The Metropolitan Museum in New York published online another portrait of the same sitter playing a mandolin, inscribed on the reverse with a dedication calling him "Mico Lo Giudice-Berbiredolu, the magician of mandolin. (From the director of Milan's Conservatory)". ("Barbiredolu" clearly comes from a misreading of an handwritten "du" as "olu"). Mario Bolognari, who wrote I ragazzi di von Gloeden. Poetiche omosessuali e rappresentazioni dell'erotismo siciliano tra Ottocento e Novecento (Reggio Calabria, 2012) recognized him as Domenico (called "Mico") Lo Giudice (1871-1942), dubbed "Barbareddu" ("The little barbarian") or "Barbireddu" ("the little barber"), a nickname his grand-grand-children in Taormina still bear today. Since this is a really existing person, this identification should be considered the most likely one, since no-one would mis-give a picture of a famous sitter for the one of an unkwnown one, whereas the reverse is easier. The sitter also appears in the historical picture published in the website of Hotel Schuler in Taormina, here.
