EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Naser al-Din Shah, a prominent figure in 19th-century Iran. Created by Luigi Pesce, this image showcases the king in his full glory, donning traditional Persian attire that exudes elegance and power. Naser al-Din Shah stands tall, dressed in a magnificent coat adorned with intricate jewels and jewelry. His majestic hat adds an air of authority to his already commanding stature. The details captured by Pesce's lens highlight not only the opulence of the monarch's clothing but also the rich heritage artistry associated with Persian culture. The sword at Naser al-Din Shah's side symbolizes his role as a sovereign ruler during a time when warfare was prevalent. The scabbard gleams alongside him, representing both protection and strength. Luigi Pesce skillfully captures every aspect of this historical moment, from the fine robes to the meticulous attention given to each piece of jewelry worn by Naser al-Din Shah. This salted paper print from glass negative is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection; it serves as a testament to both Persia's past grandeur and Luigi Pesce's talent as a photographer. As we gaze upon this portrait today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor and magnificence that once surrounded one of Iran's most influential kings - Naser al-Din Shah Qajar.
