Description
Drama, drama, drama best describes this image captured from the terrace of a villa in Tuscany. This photo perfectly captures the wild beauty and vastness of the Tuscan countryside as the sun, glowing red and orange sets behind distant mountains. Clouds reflect the setting sun and deepen into shades of grey as the last light wanes, the foreground darkening by the second.
Tuscany is a region in central Italy. Its capital, Florence, is home to some of the world’s most recognizable Renaissance art and architecture, including Michelangelo’s David, works by Botticelli housed in the Uffizi Gallery and of course, the Duomo. The landscape is diverse,encompassing the rugged Apennine Mountains, beaches on the island of Elba in the Tyrrhenian Sea and the olive groves and vineyards of Chianti.
Known for its landscape, history and art, plus its influence on high culture, Tuscany is regarded as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. This vast area has been home to many influential figures in art and science, and contains well-known museums such as the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace.
