N. 244 Palermo Monreale panorama c. 1893 - 1903

"N. 244 Palermo Monreale panorama" is a black and white photograph taken by Giuseppe Incorpora, a prominent Italian photographer, between 1893 and 1903. The image captures a panoramic view of the city of Monreale, Sicily, from a hillside. It showcases the city's architecture, with the notable Monreale Cathedral prominently featured, and the surrounding landscape, including a few trees in the foreground. The composition is reminiscent of the Pictorialist movement, where photographers employed soft focus, tonal contrasts, and artistic techniques to elevate photography to a fine art. This photograph, part of a series documenting the Italian landscape, offers a glimpse into the life and artistic practice of Giuseppe Incorpora during the late 19th century.
