Tuscany, Italy is renown for the classical views,  gentle hills and quality of the landscapes sorrounding the region.

It might sound like the description of a postcard, but in fact, Tuscany offers extremely diverse landscapes for the painter.The hills sorrounding the city of Florence, the Chianti area, the coastal villages in Maremma …

So I surrendered to the charms of the Tuscan Landscape, and painted a view near our home,  in a velvedere called Pian de’ Giullari, near Galileo Galilei’s Villa.

The painting captures the early days of spring, the colors at its best: fresh greens, some trees in full bloom and that subtle atmosphere that impregnates the Tuscan views.
