Fratelli Alinari is an Impressionism artist. 11 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Fratelli Alinari made early photographs in the 1850s, staging classical figures and nude studies in their studio. They photographed statues like *Seneca* and *Plato* as well as a serene *An angel* posed above clouds. Their sharp prints belong to the same moment when photography was still learning to look like art. Tap *Study of nude child* to see how they balanced raw realism with quiet, sculptural lighting.
