"Zwei Sizilianische Knaben Um Säule" (Two Sicilian Boys by a Column) is a notable photograph by Wilhelm von Gloeden, a German photographer who worked mainly in Italy, known for his pastoral and classical-themed images that often featured the young male residents of Taormina, Sicily. This particular photograph is a representative example of von Gloeden's work, which blends the natural beauty of the Sicilian landscape with the neoclassical aesthetic that was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856–1931) gained fame for his artistic approach to photography, which often involved carefully staged scenes inspired by ancient Greek and Roman culture. His work was characterized by its homoerotic undertones and the idealization of the male form, which was both celebrated and controversial during his lifetime. "Zwei Sizilianische Knaben Um Säule" is emblematic of von Gloeden's style, featuring young Sicilian models posed in a manner that evokes the idyllic and romantic visions of antiquity.

The photograph is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical context. Von Gloeden's images played a role in the emerging gay culture of the time, providing a visual expression of male beauty and homoerotic desire that was rare in the public sphere. Additionally, his work has been studied for its impact on the perception of Sicily and its people, as well as its influence on the development of photography as an art form.

As with many of von Gloeden's photographs, "Zwei Sizilianische Knaben Um Säule" has been the subject of both admiration and criticism. It has been praised for its technical proficiency and its contribution to the artistic representation of male beauty, while also facing scrutiny for the ethical implications of von Gloeden's relationships with his young models and the potential exploitation inherent in his work.

Today, "Zwei Sizilianische Knaben Um Säule" and other photographs by von Gloeden are held in various art collections and continue to be the subject of academic study and artistic interest. They provide insight into the social and cultural attitudes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as the enduring complexities surrounding the portrayal of youth and beauty in art.
