Het Concert c. 1880 - 1895

"Het Concert," a black and white photograph by the Fratelli Alinari, depicts a portrait of three individuals, likely a family, posed formally in a Renaissance style. The woman, adorned in a richly embroidered gown and a feathered hat, sits front and center, while the two men stand behind her, perhaps signifying their position of authority within the family. The image is a testament to the Alinari Brothers’ expertise in photographic documentation of Italian art and architecture, capturing details of the original painting in a manner that allows for a clear and detailed study of the subject matter. This photo, dating back to the late 19th century, is a valuable historical artifact, preserving an iconic Renaissance portrait for posterity.
