Wandering along the river Arno in search of open views of the city, I found myself near Palazzo Corsini.

Comtessa Livia granted me permission to paint  in and around the Palazzo,but instead of focusing on the exterior as was my initial idea, I got fascinated by  the interior halls.

La Galleria dell’Aurora is one of the most beautiful locations in which I have painted.

The ample chambers of the Palazzo, the delicate shades of the frescoed walls, the golden light create a sense of  a timeless space
