EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print captures the regal presence of Prince Kung, Emperor of China in 1860. Created by renowned photographer Felice Beato, this portrait showcases the rich heritage and grandeur of Chinese royalty during the 19th century. Prince Kung stands tall, his traditional clothing reflecting the elegance and sophistication of his country's culture. His majestic hat adds an air of authority to his demeanor, while his intricate dress symbolizes his royal status. With a gaze that exudes wisdom and power, Prince Kung commands attention as he gazes into the distance. Beato's masterful use of light and shadow brings depth to this photograph, emphasizing every detail on Prince Kung's face. The clarity captured from glass negative highlights each line etched with experience on the emperor's visage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this image serves as a testament to both Beato's skill as a photographer and Prince Kung's significance in Chinese history.
