About the artwork

This stunning long-exposure photograph captures the picturesque village of Vernazza, one of the iconic towns of the Cinque Terre, bathed in the soft, blue light of the late afternoon, just before sunset.

The vibrant colors of the houses along the waterfront are a defining feature of Vernazza, contrasting beautifully with the deep blue of the Ligurian Sea.

On the left, the historic Church of Santa Margherita di Antiochia stands proudly with its bell tower, while the Doria Castle tower overlooks the village from above, adding to the town's historical charm.

The smooth, silky effect of the long exposure creates a dreamlike quality in the water, blurring the line between the sea and the village, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere.

The sun, approaching the horizon, casts a gentle glow over the scene, illuminating the pastel-colored buildings and reflecting off the calm waters of the harbor.

The rock formations in the foreground, with their subtle green moss, add depth and texture to the composition, leading the viewer’s gaze towards the heart of Vernazza.

Vernazza is one of the most photographed and visited locations in the Cinque Terre, renowned for its unique blend of natural beauty and historical architecture.

This image captures the village’s essence, where the colorful houses, the church, and the fortress tower come together to create a timeless scene that represents the charm of the Italian Riviera.

The photograph's serene and harmonious mood makes it a perfect addition to any collection, ideal for those who wish to bring a piece of Italy's coastal beauty into their space.
