Ravello, Sorrento Italy
A Fine Art Limited Edition Giclee Print Signed and Numbered. Edition size 45 A classic.
A classic iconic view of Ravello on the Amalfi coast in Southern Italy looking down into the blue sea below. Taken from an original watercolour painting.
The Amalfi coast is a spectacular area of dramatic scenery. I’ve only been the one time which was for a week back in 2003 but I was inspired to do a number of sketchbook watercolours and this Painting of Ravello.
I have vivid memories of the brief trip we made to this small town perched high above the distant sea below. We had spent the morning getting to Amalfi by boat. By the time we arrived at 12:45pm the shops had closed for lunch.
It was 2:30 before we boarded a small bus that took us up the rather perilous road to Ravello. I quickly found this iconic view of the tree in the beautiful gardens of Villa Rufolo which is often a venue for wedding photographs. Indeed, we actually saw a newly wed couple being photographed in the grounds.
