"Untitled (Boy with Flying Fish)" is a photographic work by Wilhelm von Gloeden, a German photographer known for his pastoral nude studies of Sicilian boys and young men, which he produced primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born Wilhelm, Freiherr (Baron) von Gloeden in 1856, he became renowned for his work that combined classical and Arcadian themes, contributing to the history of photography and early gay visual culture.

This particular photograph, like many of Gloeden's works, is characterized by its idyllic setting and the use of props and costumes to evoke the imagery and sensibilities of ancient Greece and Rome. The image features a young boy in a pastoral landscape, holding what appears to be a flying fish, a motif that may symbolize the connection between the earthly and the mythical realms. The boy's pose and the composition of the photograph reflect von Gloeden's interest in the beauty of the human form and its harmonious integration with nature.

Von Gloeden's photography was controversial for its time, both for its homoerotic content and for its depictions of nudity. His work was celebrated by some for its artistic value and vilified by others on moral grounds. Despite this, von Gloeden gained a significant following, and his photographs were collected by a diverse audience, including cultural luminaries and members of the European aristocracy.

"Untitled (Boy with Flying Fish)" is part of von Gloeden's extensive oeuvre, which has been studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of photographic history and LGBTQ+ heritage. The photograph is not only a representation of von Gloeden's technical skill and artistic vision but also a window into the complex social and cultural dynamics of the era in which he worked.

As with many of von Gloeden's photographs, the exact date of "Untitled (Boy with Flying Fish)" is uncertain, but it is likely from the peak of his career, between the 1890s and the early 1900s. Today, von Gloeden's work is preserved in various collections and continues to be the subject of scholarly research and exhibitions, contributing to the understanding of the evolution of photography and the representation of gender and sexuality in art.
