Italy Tuscany Val dOrcia Chapel Countryside Monochrome Countryside Landscape Wall Art | Limited Edition of 10
Standing there in the rolling hills of Val d'Orcia, I felt that familiar pull I get whenever a landscape seems to breathe on its own. This corner of Tuscany isn't just beautiful—it's protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and when you're out there in person, you immediately understand why. The land feels shaped by centuries of quiet human touch and long stretches of stillness, each ridge folding into the next like a slow-moving wave. As I framed the scene around the Cappella della Madonna di Vitaleta, the countryside's simplicity felt almost orchestral.
The chapel sits alone at the top of the hill, steady and understated, holding its place in a landscape that shifts constantly with wind, farming, and the play of light. Working in monochrome let me lean into those shapes and textures. The plowed hills read like sculpture, the distant ridgelines soften into quiet grays, and the chapel—framed by its cypress trees—becomes a gentle anchor in the composition.
This image comes from a real moment in the field—no composites, no stitched scenes, just the reality of standing there with my camera, waiting for that small window of atmosphere and tone that's worth keeping. The clouds were heavy that day, muting the countryside into a subdued palette, and that mood is exactly what I wanted preserved in the final print. Every piece I offer is photographed on location from lived experience, and each print is personally signed and includes a certificate of authenticity.
Whenever I return to this photograph, I'm reminded of how still the world felt in that moment. Tuscany can be busy—tour buses, farm equipment, cars weaving around backroads—but here, in the heart of Val d'Orcia, everything quieted down to a single breath. That sense of calm is what I hope comes through on the wall. Your eyes wander the slopes, trace the old farm track, pause on the lone trees, and eventually settle on the chapel before drifting back toward the distant hills.
If you're drawn to scenes like this—quiet landscapes with depth, distance, and a strong sense of place—you might enjoy Black And White Tuscany Landscape Art Print.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
