"Zwei sizilianische Knaben an Felsen gelehnt" (English: "Two Sicilian Boys Leaning Against Rocks") is a notable photograph by Wilhelm von Gloeden, a German photographer known for his pastoral nude studies of Sicilian boys and men. Created during the late 19th or early 20th century, this work is part of von Gloeden's extensive oeuvre that blends classical antiquity themes with pastoral Sicilian landscapes.

Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856–1931), a baron by inheritance, turned to photography after settling in Taormina, Sicily, for health reasons. His work, often featuring local youths posed in idyllic settings, drew inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman culture and mythology. Von Gloeden's photographs were celebrated for their artistic quality and played a significant role in the development of photographic art during his time.

"Zwei sizilianische Knaben an Felsen gelehnt" is exemplary of von Gloeden's style, which frequently captured the natural beauty and sensuality of his subjects in a way that was both controversial and influential. The photograph depicts two young Sicilian boys in a relaxed, intimate pose, leaning against a rocky backdrop that emphasizes the rustic charm of the Sicilian landscape. The image is characterized by its soft lighting, careful composition, and the use of props and attire (or lack thereof) to evoke the classical era.

Von Gloeden's work, including "Zwei sizilianische Knaben an Felsen gelehnt," gained popularity among European and American audiences, particularly among those with an interest in the emerging study of sexuality, as well as artists and intellectuals of the time. Despite facing moralistic and legal challenges due to the nature of his subjects, von Gloeden's photography has been reevaluated in recent years, with scholars and critics acknowledging its artistic and historical significance.

Today, "Zwei sizilianische Knaben an Felsen gelehnt" is not only recognized as a piece of photographic art but also as a document of its era, reflecting the complex interplay between art, sexuality, and society at the turn of the 20th century. The photograph is preserved in various collections and has been the subject of exhibitions and academic studies exploring the legacy of Wilhelm von Gloeden and the genre of fine art photography.
