Alpine Attire Bavarian Estate Estates Heroic Hunt Hunts Imposing Pose Posed Rocks Shooting Tyrol Tyrolean Umberto Zillertal
EDITORS COMMENTS
King Umberto I of Italy, the first king of the House of Savoy-Aosta, is depicted in this photograph as he engages in a traditional hunting excursion on his Tyrolean Estates, circa 1898. The regal monarch, dressed in Bavarian hunting attire, stands proudly against the backdrop of imposing Alpine rocks in the picturesque Zillertal region of Northern Italy. With a determined expression and a steady gaze, King Umberto holds his rifle at the ready, poised to take aim at his quarry. The heroic pose of the king, set against the rugged Tyrolean landscape, underscores his connection to the land and the local traditions of his realm. The Tyrolean Estates, which were an integral part of the Savoy monarchy's vast territories, were renowned for their natural beauty and abundant game. King Umberto's visit to his Tyrolean Estates was not only an opportunity for him to indulge in his favorite pastime but also a chance to connect with his subjects and demonstrate his commitment to their way of life. The traditional costume he wears, complete with a Tyrolean hat, further underscores his connection to the region and its people. This historic photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a monarch who ruled over a diverse and complex kingdom, and who sought to maintain a strong connection to the land and its people. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the hunting tradition in European culture and the role of the monarchy in preserving and promoting it.
