However, the outcomes always turn out to be amazing, granting the audience a spectacular viewing session that is definitely a feast to their eyes. Hence, take a look at the works of Alberto Fornasari, who specializes in capturing the beauties of landscape sceneries.
Captured in San Quirico d’Orcia, Siena Italy, Alberto wanted to recreate the landscape of the Val d’Orcia, now a Unesco World Heritage Site, which was celebrated by painters of the Sienese School that flourished during the Renaissance Period. Specifically, he wanted to describe the fantastic landscape of the Val d’Orica in Tuscany, with the soft light of dawn that enters the autumn fog, putting in the foreground of the Belvedere farm and the fortress of Radicofani in the background.
Alberto took the opportunity to stand in the hills of Pienza in order to recount a sunrise in the Terrapille fields, taking into account the famous cypress trees from the film ‘The Gladiator’ and the road that crosses the Elysees fields that are located at the center of the scene. The symbol of the wonderful valley he was in, Mount Amiata, dominates the scene in the background, caressed by the autumn lights.
Continuing the Tuscany series, Alberto visited Val d’Orcia between October and December, to capture impressive images through elements of fog and the light of dawn, which is a typical phenomenon of the period. Bringing Tuscany to an international level, he wanted to represent the magnificent landscape of the Val d’Orcia through the early morning light that filters through the fog using the shadows that are created in the symbolic elements of the territory, like cypresses, farms, plants, and also small churches.
Using the advantage of famous landscapes in Val d’Orcia, Alberto carefully picked his shooting hours at dawn when the mists run and tinge with pastel colours, reinforcing the enchantment of the wonderful valley. He told stories and described the fabulous lines that the rolling hills and shapes created by the mountains, all within his many shooting sessions to create his Fine Art Project.
