Description

 manA vision suspended between myth and memory. A nude young man steps forward, his back turned, vanishing into the darkness of an ancient cavern. His laureled head tilts slightly, as if listening to the silent echoes of forgotten gods. At his feet, a dog—loyal, watchful, bound to this threshold between light and shadow. 

The Sicilian landscape, suffused with soft-focus dreamscapes, becomes the stage for a reimagined Ovidian metamorphosis. Is he Orpheus descending, chasing a love he cannot hold? A wandering Bacchus, stepping beyond mortal realms? Or is he merely a boy on the cusp of secrecy, of sanctuary, of something unnamed? Von Gloeden’s pioneering use of photographic filters and body makeup casts his model in the luminous glow of an Old Master painting, a revival of Greco-Roman aesthetics in the intimate form of male nude photography.

Wilhelm von Gloeden's a master of homoerotic neoclassical photography. Transforming fleeting moments from the early 20th century into artifacts of queer longing. Elegies for a lost Arcadia. And this iPhone case preserves that spectral beauty—a black and white gay art print where antiquity and desire intertwine.

He disappears, but the gaze remains.

About the Artist

Wilhelm von Gloeden, the visionary German photographer, transformed fin-de-siècle Taormina into a living tableau of classical antiquity. Born in 1856, he fled to Sicily seeking health but found instead his artistic destiny. Best known for his pastoral nude studies of young Sicilian men, he merged early photographic innovation with Greco-Roman aesthetics, using props like wreaths and amphoras to evoke the grandeur of antiquity.

A master of lighting and composition, he pioneered photographic filters and body makeup techniques to enhance the dreamlike quality of his work. Moving to Taormina for health reasons, he turned his hobby into a profession, drawing wealthy tourists, poets, and intellectuals—including Oscar Wilde, Friedrich Alfred Krupp, and Wilhelm II. His evocative imagery not only defined his legacy but also helped establish Taormina as a cultural haven. His photographs documented landscapes, enriched early tourism, and preserved an idealized vision of beauty that continues to captivate today.
