Description
This duomo or cathedral sits atop a hill in San Miniato in Toscana. It is named Sant'Assunta or Saint Assumption. Assunta was my mother's name. She was born on the feast of the Assumption, August 15, 1926. The picture shows the bell tower and the rooftops of the cathedral surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, farms and orchards. All are typical in the Tuscan countryside. The way almost every inch of ground is used to produce food is iconic of the ancient civilization that is Italy. This, probably more than any other single factor, is what seems to keep drawing me back. I see the land described by Leonardo as I look out onto the views in almost every direction. Un bel paese!
One of a Kind
You can purchase a one of a kind, original print of this image directly from the artist by contacting me via email. The picture is signed and the mat has a hand drawn remarque in graphite. The paper and inks are archival and the printing is done under my direct supervision.
An original print is one on which I have personally supervised the process. It is printed on archival paper using archival inks. I hand sign the piece and draw a remarque on the mat that in some way reflects the original image. This small original drawing adds aesthetic interest as well as value to the print. In the case of " The Duomo of Sant'Assunta" I might draw a church bell or a cross atop a tower or some other related object in graphite as an example.
An original print is a higher value collector's piece because of the additional care and handling. It differs from the prints that are sold by Fine Art America by virtue of the quality of materials, the signature and the remarque. Its increased value to the collector is in its one of a kind status.
I frame the image using gallery molding - clean, square wood molding in either black, white, natural or walnut stain. It has a contemporary look that gives the piece a professional finish.
Shipping & Handling are based on zipcode. I can give you a specific price when I know the destination. The size of the image is 24x36. The mat and frame add to the size. The finished piece is approximately 30x40.
