  Wilhelm von Gloeden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Von Gloeden, who in the 1880s had started photographing boys, but had also made portrait studies of local peasants and engaged in some landscape photography, turned his hobby into a profitable business in the 1890s when his family fell on hard times financially.
Von Gloeden generally made different kinds of photographs: The ones that garnered the most widespread attention in Europe and overseas were usually relatively chaste, featured clothes like togas and generally downplayed their homoerotic implications.
Von Gloeden's cousin, Guglielmo Plüschow, similarly photographed male nudes in Rome, Italy.

Wilhelm von Glœden, Baron of the Court of the Hohenzollerns, was born in Schloss Volkshagen, near Wiemar, in the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg, a city on the Baltic sea in what is now Germany.
Wilhelm von Glœden was thus raised a nobleman, affluent and classically educated in the highest circles of the Prussian elite.
Wilhelm claimed to have been an illegitimate child in the family line of the Kaiser, because of which he was persuaded to become an exile from his native land, and for which exile he received a regular stipend from Berlin - on condition that he never return.

Von Gloeden was a pioneer, one of the first to compose his nude studies outside the studio...
Von Gloeden's images epitomize a standard tactic of early homoerotic image-making: the "classical" scenes, costumes, and props in his compositions act as alibis for their homoerotic narratives, legitimizing the camera's obsessive gaze upon the boys' bare bodies.

 Matt & Andrej Koymasky - Gloeden 02
Wilhelm von Glœden is important to the history of photography as an innovator of the nude image - principally of the male nude.
Wilhelm von Glœden attached great importance to the aura of classical antiquity surrounding his nudes - their paradisiac nakedness was complemented by a varietuy of props conveying historical references and symbolic messages, such as blossoms and grapevine tendrils, Greek vases, flutes, cloth drapes, and fragments of columns.
Von Glœden's importance to the history of nude photography arises from his utter dismissal of the genre's taboo, the confident manner in which he manipulates his ephebic, androgynous models, and the sheer magnitude of his output.

 Wilhelm Von Gloeden in the permanent collection of the Leslie-Lohman art galleries
The modern viewer might easily think of Von Gloeden as idiosyncratically apart from his contemporaries — separate — in a sense alone, laboring on Monte Tauro (in love with the youths and young men who were his models and helpers to be sure) yet somehow merely an eccentric, isolated fluke of photographic history.
Von Gloeden was responsible in a very fundamental way for the establishment of the social, psychological and artistic support which grew up around him.
During this same period Von Gloeden was romantically recording the youthful beauty of Kitson's handsome Tarominese lover in portraits and nudes and Brangwyn is known to have painted him during his visit in 1906.
