"Zwei Sizilianische Knaben Vor Strandfelsen" (Two Sicilian Boys in Front of Rocky Beach) is a notable photograph by Wilhelm von Gloeden, a German photographer who worked mainly in Italy, known for his pastoral and classical Sicilian landscapes and figure studies. This particular photograph is emblematic of von Gloeden's style, which often featured young Sicilian boys and men in idyllic, Mediterranean settings that evoke the aesthetics of ancient Greece and Rome.

Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856–1931) was a baron who gained fame for his contribution to early fine art photography and for his pioneering role in the acceptance of homosexuality in the arts. His work is characterized by its homoerotic content, which was both controversial and celebrated during his lifetime and remains a subject of academic interest.

"Zwei Sizilianische Knaben Vor Strandfelsen" is a black and white photograph that captures the natural beauty of the Sicilian landscape alongside the youthful grace of its subjects. The image is composed with a keen eye for classical beauty and often features the use of props and attire—or the lack thereof—to evoke the ancient world. Von Gloeden's photographs are historically significant not only for their artistic merit but also for their documentation of the people and landscapes of 19th-century Sicily.

The photograph is part of von Gloeden's extensive oeuvre, which was almost lost during the fascist regime in Italy when much of his work was destroyed. However, surviving prints and negatives have been preserved and studied, allowing von Gloeden's artistic legacy to endure. "Zwei Sizilianische Knaben Vor Strandfelsen" is representative of his work that continues to be exhibited in galleries and included in discussions of the history of photography and LGBTQ+ representation in art.
