While his views and genre scenes catered to the tourist trade, Sommer was also keenly interested in documenting archaeological subjects. He photographed Pompeii in 1863, and won a bronze medal for his photographs at the 1867 Exposition universelle, Paris. Scope and Content of Collection This collection of 15 albumen prints includes nine views of Pompeii and excavations, four images from Sommers' Napoli Costume series, and a depiction of the tarantella dance. Buildings represented include the temples of Apollo, Fortuna Augusta, and Isis, the theater or odeon, and the House of the Balcony and the House of the Tragic Poet. A scene of the tarantella (ca. 1880s), is a photomontage with figures taken from earlier Sommers photographs. Also included is a view of the excavations at Pompeii in 1895 by Giacomo Brogi. Twelve of the photographs are hand-colored. There are both black and white and hand- colored prints of the Temple of Isis (Sommers #1216), and the Temple of Fortuna Augusta (Sommers #1207). The photographs are numbered, titled, and credited in the negative in Italian or English. Arrangement No discernible original order; arranged by cataloger.

Nicholas Napoli The Risorgimento and the Image of Italian Culture Ernst Renan famously articulated the cultural, political, and social ideal of the modern nation state in his 1882 lecture “What is a Nation?/Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?” Speaking in the midst of the territorial disputes over the Franco-German border regions of Alsace and Lorraine, Renan defined a nation not by geography, race, ethnicity, or language, but rather a shared sense of moral conscience that was acutely aware of its own past. He defined this conscience as the common possession of a “rich legacy of memories” and the shared desire to honor and perpetuate its values in the present day.1 He called this “the social capital upon which one bases a national idea.”2 A comparable question of political and cultural identity faced the nascent Kingdom of Italy in the middle of the nineteenth century. With Giuseppe Garibaldi’s conquest of Sicily and occupation of Naples and southern Italy in 1860, the Sardinian/Piedmontese monarch Vittorio Emanuele II could lay claim to the crown of a unified state that comprised most of the peninsula.

  • Contemporary and Historical Photographs of Pompeii As Well As
    YA L E UNIVERSITY A R T PRESS For Immediate Release GALLERY RELEASE March 2, 2018 POMPEII: PHOTOGRAPHS AND FRAGMENTS Contemporary and historical photographs of Pompeii as well as selected ancient objects offer a fresh perspective on the first-century Roman town March 2–August 19, 2018 March 2, 2018, New Haven, Conn.—The ancient city of Pompeii—both destroyed and preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in a.d. 79—has captured public imagination since it was first excavated in 1748. Questioning the established per- ception of Pompeii as a city frozen in time, Pompeii: Photographs and Fragments highlights the changing representations of the site since its rediscovery. The exhibition presents contemporary photo- graphs by William Wylie and An-My Lê, m.f.a. 1993, and a selection of 19th-century photographs by Edmund Behles, Robert Rive, and Giorgio Sommer William Wylie, Peristyle, House of the Colored Capitals or House of alongside an 18th-century etching by Francesco Ariadne (VII.4.31), 2015. Pigmented inkjet print. Yale University Art Gallery, Gift of the artist. © William Wylie Piranesi and ancient art from the Gallery’s collec- tion. Through these objects, Pompeii: Photographs and Fragments explores both the ancient history of the Roman town as well as its more recent history as an active excavation site. The exhibition was inspired by two projects that Wylie and Lê undertook during their Gallery- sponsored Happy and Bob Doran Artist Residencies in Praiano, Italy. Wylie’s large-scale photographs of Pompeii, taken between 2013 and 2017 and recently brought together in a book published by the Gallery titled Pompeii Archive, document the passage of time—the ongoing cycles of deterioration and preservation that mark the site as a living landscape.

  • From the Same Group of Photographs, a General View of the Acropolis from the Hill of Philpappos Captures the Site Prior to Removal of Some Post-Classical Evidence
    From the same group of photographs, a general view of the Acropolis from the Hill of Philpappos captures the site prior to removal of some post-Classical evidence. The Frankish Tower, east of the Propylaia is visible before its demolition in 1874–75. Precise details on the construction date, builders and purpose of the tower remain elusive but it was one of thirty known medieval towers to have been erected in central Greece. It was demolished to remove non-Classical interventions on the site of the Acropolis and return the site to a state approximating its Classical fifth century BCE appearance, symbolic of the country’s independent and illustrious past.

The panorama was displayed at the Architectural Photographic Association in 1858 and at the Photographic Society in 1859. Titled Cairo from the Citadel, a structure that offers a commanding view of the city, this First View includes, beyond Rumayla square, the Madrasa and Friday Mosque of Sultan Hasan built 1356–63, with flat roofs and slanted sheds in the foreground, and a dense city fabric stretching to the horizon. The mosque was considered an extraordinary monument in the Muslim world, and the most expensive structure built in medieval Cairo.
