Italian Wildflowers - photos by Hannah Summers at Imagekind

All these images are shot in the grounds of Palazzo Cervini, a beautiful, peaceful, renaissance palace set in the heart of Southern Tuscany near Montalcino.

This palace was commissioned by Pope Marcello II and was built by Antonio da Sangallo ,the famous Vatican architect that built the Pope's living quarters. The present Count and Countess (descendants of The Pope Marcello II) are still in residence today.

A Romanesque chapel and an extensive hermitage (Eremo) were also constructed to accommodate for a fascinating group of humble monks, known as the "Camaldolesi", who first inhabited the caves that now form the foundations of the castle in 1,004 ad (500 years previously). This hermitage exists today, a place for peaceful contemplation and where one can truly be at one with nature and it's beauty.

My recommendations for printing are:

Size: "Large" wherever possible. All my images are designed for the largest sizes as I feel that when they have a sizeable presence in a room, their essence is fully accentuated

Canvas Option: Gallery-wrapped matte canvas is the ultimate option for one of my prints in a modern, minimalist room.

Print Option: I strongly recommend either Epson Premium Photo Luster Paper or Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl Photo Paper (Both are satin finishes of very high quality and are designed specifically for photography) Matt papers tend to dull and flatten photographic images.

Framing: I have customised each image with my preferred framing, matting and glazing combinations . These are shown in the preview of the image on this page and details can be found by clicking on “Click here to buy as the artist intended” below. Of course, you are free to choose the framing and matting that suits your décor and taste from Imagekind’s extensive collection.

Thankyou for your interest in my art. I truly hope it brings as much joy and peace to your home as it does to mine, Hannah
