About the Photograph
This photograph was made during my first evening in Tuscany. I had arrived earlier in the day and knew I wanted to photograph the cypress-lined road leading into famous Baccoleno Farmhouse. As storms moved out of the Crete Senesi region and the light began to glow under a breaking sunset, I knew this was going to be a special moment. The landscape softened with the sunset while the hills warmed and the clouds broke. At this moment, the scene finally opened up in a way that felt both dramatic and calm.
The gentle curve of the road becomes the main visual anchor here, drawing your eye into the frame toward the farmhouse and distant hills. Spring wildflowers filled the foreground which added texture and seasonal detail. Nothing beats getting light like this when the poppies were still in bloom. The passing storm helped diffuse the light and gave the image a quiet and glowing atmosphere.
I chose a standard 3:2 format for this composition to keep the focus tight and intimate. This version brings you closer to the road and emphasizes the flow of the cypress trees, along with the subtle layers of rolling terrain beyond. It’s a truly classic Tuscan scene that feels balanced and timeless. It looks especially stunning when printed at larger sizes where the detail in the trees, flowers and hills can really be appreciated.
For collectors who are drawn to a wider and more immersive interpretation of this same evening, I also photographed this scene as a panoramic fine art print titled Under the Tuscan Sunset. That print expands the view to showcase more of the surrounding Crete Senesi countryside.

Fine Art Print Styles
I offer a number of print styles for my fine art nature photography prints. Below are the different styles you can choose from as you consider your art purchase. All formats with the exception of archival paper prints come ready to hang as is without any need for framing. However, optional external framing can be added if desired. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding these print styles. For more detailed information on my print styles, please visit my fine art prints page.
Signature Series Acrylic Prints (Ready to Hang)
If you’re looking for luxury and quality, then choosing arcylic for your artwork will certainly make it stand out! Details from the image emerge from the acrylic in an almost HD-like appearance due due to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and Acrylic. I also offer upgrades to TruLife acrylic and both Lumachrome and Ultra HD acrylic papers.. The final product is finished with a recessed float mount that allows for easy hanging without the need of an external frame creating a modern gallery look that is perfect for any home or office. Additionally, Italian hand-made ROMA frames can be added to any acrylic piece.
Signature Series Chromaluxe Metal Prints (Ready to Hang)
Using a method called dye sublimation, Chromaluxe is my choice for metal prints. Chromaluxe metal prints are created by taking an archival fine art print and infusing it into an aluminum sheet, creating a much more durable and visually stunning product than printing directly to aluminum like other metal print methods. Surprisingly light-weight, Chromaluxe metal prints are resistant to scratching while having that shiny, high gloss look that makes an image pop! Larson Juhl and box framed Chromaluxe metal prints are available upon request.
Arcival Canvas Prints (Ready to Hang)
Created with 8 color oil based inks, these giclee canvas prints are on another level compared to other canvas prints you might have seen. Many canvas prints have a lack of sharpness, but these canvas prints are some of the highest resolution, sharpest, most vibrant canvas prints possible.
Signature Series Frames (Ready to Hang)
While all of my mounted print styles come ready to hang without the need of an external frame, sometimes collectors want that extra touch of elegance. For that reason, I offer ROMA frames on all of my acrylic, metal and canvas prints. Plaque mount prints can also be framed with Larson Juhl frames. Standard styles include the Tabacchino line, but other ROMA lines are available on request.
