“Sunset on the Arno”
Florence, Italy | May 2023
This oil painting is my own master copy of the work done by Antonio Fontanesi (1818-1882), which is displayed in Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The scene is as if you are standing on the Ponte Vecchio looking out at the Arno River at sunset. I chose this painting because it Florence holds a special place in my heart and I wanted to challenged myself to recreate a piece that could remind me of that.
