Florentine Snow

Name: Florentine Snow
SKU: florentinesnow
Availability: InStock

This artistic landscape captured by Photographer and Digital Artist, Scott Allen Wilson, provides an intense and cold sensation. The snow changes the warm Florentine colors into light beige tones. Underneath the white sky, located in the lower half of the image, is the white city of Florence, Italy, with Cattedrale di Santa María del Fiore and Palazzo Vecchio standing out amongst the rest of the buildings, forming a perfect balance. The print has been realized on glossy Fuji Crystal Archive paper, and mounted beneath acrylic glass. The mounted print is surrounded by a beautiful solid wood frame. Every element of this piece was individually selected with intention as being a part of a unified piece of art.

I think this print can show a different yet magical view of Florence, Italy. I hope you love it 🙂

Thoughts and Ponderings about Florentine Snow

The dream day had arrived
I put on my warmest gear,
packed everything in waterproof gear bags,
Poured hot tea into my thermos
and proceeded to walk.
It was still flurrying outside-
the and the weather was pretty dreary.
I couldn’t believe it finally happened-
I had heard it snows in Florence
every 5-7 years, and this was my chance
to finally capture the city with a light
blanket of fresh snow upon the terracotta roofs.

When I finally made it up to Piazzale Michelangelo I waited about an hour for the rain to stop falling so I could get a clear shot- but the weather only proceeded to get worse.

I finally decided it was now or never, and brought out my tripod, camera body and 70-200mm lens. I remember the wind being strong- It was really overcast and the rain was steadily coming down- it was difficult to keep the camera steady from the frequent gusts so I had to time them in order for the camera to not shake in between longer exposures. Water droplets also kept getting on to my lens- even with the lens hood on, so I had to keep stopping to wipe it off. This is the end result of my 1 chance in 8 years to capture snow in Florence. Sometimes life is like that. It’s about timing, it’s about patience, and perseverance.
