"Classical Scenes of Taormina, Sicily" is a photographic work by Wilhelm, Baron von Gloeden, often known as Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856–1931), a German photographer who worked mainly in Italy. Von Gloeden is best known for his pastoral nude studies of Sicilian boys, which usually featured classical themes and carefully arranged compositions inspired by the ancient Greek and Roman cultures that once thrived in Sicily.

Born in Mecklenburg, Germany, Von Gloeden pursued photography after moving to Taormina in 1878 due to health reasons. His work gained popularity during his lifetime and was admired for its artistic quality and ethnographic significance. "Classical Scenes of Taormina, Sicily" would typically depict the idyllic and picturesque landscapes of Taormina, combined with the young local models posing amidst the ruins and natural settings. These scenes often evoked a romanticized version of antiquity, aligning with the late 19th-century European tastes for classical and Arcadian imagery.

Von Gloeden's photography was groundbreaking in its open celebration of male beauty and homoeroticism, which was controversial and, at times, censored during his era. His work has been both criticized for its potential exploitation of its subjects and praised for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the history of photography and LGBTQ culture.

The legacy of Von Gloeden's work, including "Classical Scenes of Taormina, Sicily," has been reassessed over time, with modern audiences and scholars debating its artistic merit, cultural impact, and ethical implications. His photographs are held in various collections and have been the subject of exhibitions and scholarly research, contributing to the understanding of the history of photography and the representation of gender and sexuality in art.
