Information
Albumen print, applied on original cardboard
cm 27 x 35,5 (cm 32 x 45,3 cardboard) | 10.6 x 14 in. (12.6 x 17.8 in. cardboard)
Photographer's didactic stamp on the verso of the cardboard
Contrary to many good craftsmen with an artistic background (many were former painters who had switched to the new art) and often simple origins, Carlo Naya belonged to a wealthy Piedmontese family: after the death of his father, he had travelled with his brother around Italy and the world before moving permanently to Venice. Here he discovered photography as a simple enthusiast, but the excellent results pushed him into the profession first as a supplier to Carlo Ponti's studio, then as an entrepreneur in a very popular shop cleverly located in the centre, under the Procuratie Nuove.
