About the Item
A gelatin silver estate print, 24" x 20" from the Freed archive, Rome, Italy, 2000 by Leonard Freed is a black and white contemporary photograph focused on an unexpected, poetic, and beautiful classical sculpture in the stairwell of a modest Roman dwelling.
Leonard Freed discovered Little Italy in New York City early in his career and was charmed equally by Italians and their country of origin. The photographer made numerous trips to Italy, especially to Rome and Naples, capturing everyday life, love, sadness, joy of family gatherings, food and leisure. Freed's photographs ultimately reflect the “Italian spirit,” the art of enjoying the moment, the culture and lifestyle of a Latin country.
Provenance: Freed Estate. Print is stamped and signed on verso (back of photograph) by Brigitte Freed, wife of the photographer.
