"Zwei Sizilianische Knaben" (Two Sicilian Boys) is a notable photograph by Wilhelm von Gloeden, a German photographer who worked mainly in Italy, known for his pastoral nude studies of Sicilian boys. Born Wilhelm von Plüschow in 1856, he became known as Wilhelm, Freiherr von Gloeden, following an inheritance that allowed him to drop his original surname. Von Gloeden's work is significant for its combination of classical aesthetic, homoerotic content, and ethnographic type, which was popular among the European elite of the time.

The photograph "Zwei Sizilianische Knaben" is emblematic of von Gloeden's style, which often featured the youth of Taormina, a town in Sicily where he lived from the late 19th century until his death in 1931. His photographs are characterized by their use of the Mediterranean landscape, classical antiquity poses, and the idyllic representation of the male form. Von Gloeden's work contributed to the visual language of emerging homosexual identities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and has been both celebrated for its artistic value and critiqued for its colonial gaze and the exploitation of its subjects.

The specific photograph "Zwei Sizilianische Knaben" captures two young Sicilian boys in a candid pose that reflects the innocence and camaraderie of youth. The image is set against a typical Sicilian backdrop, which adds to the authenticity and rustic charm of the composition. Von Gloeden's work, including this photograph, has been extensively collected and exhibited in various art galleries and museums, and it holds a place in the history of photography as part of the pictorialist movement.

As with many of von Gloeden's photographs, "Zwei Sizilianische Knaben" is not without controversy, as modern perspectives raise questions about the ethics of his work, the consent of his subjects, and the power dynamics at play. Nevertheless, the photograph remains an important piece of the historical puzzle that illustrates the complex interplay between art, sexuality, and society at the turn of the 20th century.
