Florence Framed Prints

A framed photograph of Florence is “High Angle of Florence, Italy” by Panoramic Images. In this image you can see a large part of the city, which includes some of the famous buildings. It was taken at twilight. Its colours are enhanced so there is a rainbow: Starting on the left are the yellows from the sunset. There are deep shadows on the buildings, and blues in the mountains, and golds in the buildings. It has a magical feeling.

An old framed painting of Florence is “ Florence from near San Miniato, 1828” by J.M.W. Turner. Here Florence appears to be a desert, having mostly whites, and very dry-looking yellows. The sky above is pure white. In the centre are people resting, looking contented and relaxed, around a tall spear of greenery. The picture is peaceful, if not alien, for portraying a different Western European culture.
