This beautiful picture is probably one of the most liked of Horst’s interiors because of its simplicity and grandeur at the same time; with the very white cotton curtains being blown by the wind in an enormous palace hall full of antiques. The Von Hessen Family is one of the oldest and most aristocratic families in Germany they are even related to the Romanov and the actual Printz Donatus Von Hessen is closer to the British throne than the Duke of Edinburg line. They have dedicated or continued themselves to the vineyards productions – an ancestral family business.

Edition of 2Horst P. Horst German-American, 1906-1999 (born Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann) was one of the towering figures of 20th-century fashion photography. Best known for his work with Vogue—who called him “photography’s alchemist”—Horst rose to prominence in Paris in the interwar years, publishing his first work with the magazine in 1931. In the decades that followed, Horst’s experimentations with radical composition, nudity, double exposures, and other avant-garde techniques would produce some of the most iconic fashion images ever, like Mainbocher Corset and Lisa with Harp (both 1939). As The New York Times once described, “Horst tamed the avant-garde to serve fashion.” Though associated most closely with fashion photography, Horst captured portraits of many of the 20th century’s brightest luminaries, dabbling with influences as far-ranging as Surrealism and Romanticism. “I like taking photographs because I like life,” he once said. “And I love photographing people best of all because most of all I love humanity.”
