The perspective in Italian Art.
Beautiful and majestic is the effect the Galleria Grande (traditionally named Galleria di Diana) of the Reggia di Venaria Reale has created in some people who allow themselves to feel the emotion of being drawn into the image.
There are those who feel lost before the vastness and beauty of the environment, as happened to the writer Stendhal, in front of the masterpieces of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
The inherent mystery and spectacular perspective light, in many ways, define the power of this artistic photograph.
Imagine the perspective of a very long room, 80 meters long, 12 meters wide and 15 meters high, closed on the short sides by two exedras, which give access to the other rooms. On the long sides, are 44 large windows with 22 ovals on the vault, giving an unparalleled brightness, which becomes the true protagonist and charm of this gallery.
It is the light that climbs on stucco, on bas-reliefs, on pilasters, that enhances them and underlines them. A jewel of stuccos, rhythm, and brightness that is among the best elements of Italian Baroque, for the balance it achieves. It continually unveils magic, any time of day and in whatever season.
Included in the composition of this photograph are the two doors located at the main entrance.
The reason for this is because it is the most emotional point of the whole gallery: as soon as the two doors open, and your breath stops due to the physical impact of the beauty that meets your eyes.
As a photographer, my inspiration for this shot came from the interplay of light and shadow, and the desire to embody the essence of Italian craftsmanship in a single frame. The photograph is set apart by its unique composition and depth of field, encapsulating the opulence of Italian architecture and instilling a sense of awe.
The emotions conveyed in this photograph are a mix of admiration, intrigue, and awe, reflecting the viewer's appreciation for intricate design and architectural grandeur.
The shot was taken in the late afternoon, when the light diffused through the windows creating a soft, ethereal glow that amplified the sophistication of the marble. This gentle lighting highlights the intricate details and patterns in the marble, making them the focus of this photograph.
This photograph is an investment in beauty and culture. It would appeal to those with refined tastes, individuals who appreciate the delicate balance between architecture, art, and history, and who value the unique story each piece of art brings to their space.
Not owning this print would mean missing out on an opportunity to bring a piece of Italian history and elegance into your space. This photograph, with its timeless elegance and detailed craft, adds an element of sophistication that will be immediately noticed and appreciated by your guests, drawing their attention and sparking conversation.
The addition of this breathtaking piece to your collection will not only improve the elegance of your home but also make a statement about your unique and refined taste in art.
It is not simply the photograph that interests me in this image
More than that my intent is to capture that very second in time. It’s not simply an image: it’s an emotion.
The most difficult part of this photograph was to find the right day with almost no tourists inside. My goal was to create an image without time, that could be one day or one hundred years old, and to reach this effect it was necessary to lose all the time reference including the people inside.
This is a photograph you can leave as a legacy to your family. It’s without time and it gives brightness to every room of a house.
I don’t like to use Photoshop for my images and in this case there was no need to even consider it.
The light was so beautiful and the ambiance so amazing that you would only subtract from its beauty if you added anything more. It is simply perfect as it is.
Sometimes there is a single image whose compositional structure has such vigor and richness and whose content radiates to such an extent that this single image is itself an entire narrative. And this is the case with Perspective in Art.
When you display this photograph in your home, it will have a tremendous impact on your guests.
This particular piece of art could be amplified to a large dimension that would be striking and breathtaking. That is my suggestion for you. This image communicates greatness so go for it, completely—choose a large size and impress the world!

My name is Paolo. I am a photographer. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in Italy, surrounded by the art that is the envy of the world. I enjoy photography because it has caused me to fall in love with light, shade, and color. I see the world around me with fresh eyes every single day. And sometimes, when the mood is right, I just sit back and enjoy the moment without taking a photo.
