Philip Stanhope Worsley

Julia Margaret Cameron British, born India
1866
Not on view
Philip Stanhope Worsley era um poeta educado em Oxford que traduziu a Odisseia e Ilíada na estrofe de Spenser. Sofrendo de tuberculose desde a infância, morreu aos trinta anos em Freshwater, na ilha de Wight, onde residia também Julia Margaret Cameron. A intensidade da vida intelectual de Worsley e sua tragédia refletem-se vividamente neste retrato, feito no mesmo ano de sua morte. A fotógrafa escolheu um fundo neutro para realçar seu olhar levantado e sombrio, exatamente no centro da fotografia. Enfaixou o corpo e envolveu a cabeça com dramática obscuridade, quase do tamanho natural, associando assim alusões de sacrifício à hipnótica gravidade de Worsley.
