[Market, Cassino, Italy]

March or April 1871

Not on view

Lebel first traveled to Rome in 1860 in the company of two fellow students from the studio of painting instructor Léon Cogniet. While in the city, he collected the work of photographers who made studies for paintings—including Giacomo Caneva and Carlo Baldassarre Simelli—and learned photography so that he could create his own. Upon his return to Paris in 1863, he perfected his technique in the studio of the commercial photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri. This photograph, from Lebel’s second trip to Rome (1870–72), is one of a series of posed, but seemingly authentic, market scenes made in the town of Cassino.
