Gloeden, Wilhelm, Von Biography

(b Wolkashagen, nr Wismar, Mecklenburg, 1856; d Taormina, Sicily, 1931). German photographer. After studying at the academy in Wismar, von Gloeden painted for some years, but during his first years in Taormina, which he had reached at the end of the Grand Tour in 1874, he abandoned painting for photography. He learnt the dry collodion process from a local photographer, Giovanni Crupi, who was subsequently involved in selling his photographs.
