City: Milan

Country: Italy

Orientation: Portrait 

Through an unexpected portal during an architectural tour of the roof of Milan’s Duomo, I encountered a fresh perspective on the city through its storied architecture. These ancient structures have housed the history and lived experiences of their inhabitants for centuries, and in a brief, unanticipated glance, I found myself standing behind a stoic stone figure; his gaze fixed outward as he watched over the city below.

These stone guardians were erected in honor of figures who once held prominent roles in the development of Milan. Seeing him towering above the city in a quiet, reverential stance reminded me of the enduring relationship between architecture and memory—how buildings do not simply shape a city’s skyline, but also preserve its values, authority, and sense of continuity across time. I took the opportunity to use the Duomo's structure as a frame to focus the viewer on the overwatcher and the city beyond.

Printing & Framing

Each archival pigment fine art print is part of a limited edition collection, signed and numbered to guarantee provenance. We print on heavyweight, acid-free paper, carefully selected for its archival quality and durability. Our museum-quality papers and ink choices produce a vivid, crisp image that maintains its richness and clarity over time, ensuring your artwork is built to last for generations.

We believe fine art deserves exceptional presentation and protection. We partner with our premier local framing studio that handcrafts our frames using the highest quality materials. Our frame styles and colors are carefully curated to accentuate the specific image, as we view the frame and mounting as an integral extension of the artwork itself. Please refer to individual product pages for specifications, or contact us directly with any questions.
