Biography:
Felice Beato devoted his photography career to portraying Asian subjects, primarily in Japan, India, Athens, Constantinople, the Crimea, and Palestine. From 1863 to 1877, Beato lived in Yokohama, Japan and produced many portraits of the inhabitants. He also produced war images, photographing the Opium War in China in 1860 and the Sudanese colonial wars in 1885. During his partnership with his brother-in-law, James Robertson, the pair photographed the Indian Mutiny. The pictures taken during this time during the 1850’s are thought to be the first to contain actual human corpses on the battlefield. Later in his life, Beato began a furniture business in Burma.
