About the Photograph
There are mornings in Tuscany that feel unreal. This was one of them. I arrived above Podere Belvedere before sunrise, finding that dense fog had settled into the valleys of Val d’Orcia overnight. As the sun rose and light began warming the hilltops, the fog drifted slowly in and out, reshaping the landscape over and over again. This revealed the farmhouse of Pordere Belvedere, vineyards and hills in brief moments before swallowing them again, repeating the cycle over and over for multiple hours that morning. Warm sunrise light filtered through the mist which softened every edge and giving the entire scene a calm and glowing atmosphere.
This standard-format composition brings the viewer closer to the farmhouse itself and emphasizes the iconic setting. As the fog moved gently through the hills, this sunrise was a quieter, more intimate interpretation of one of Tuscany’s most recognizable views. It is a scene that rewards close viewing when printed large.
For collectors drawn to a wider and more immersive perspective of this same morning, I also have this scene available as an award-winning panoramic fine art print titled Dreaming of Tuscany, which expands the view across the fog-filled valley.
