About the Item

High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This Massimo Listri photograph captures an ornate indoor pool, likely from the Roman-style baths at Hearst Castle in California. The image showcases an extraordinary blend of Classical and Byzantine design elements with striking attention to detail. The most prominent feature is the deep blue mosaic tile work that covers both the pool and walls. The pool's bottom features an intricate pattern of gold or yellow designs against the blue background, with geometric stars and decorative borders. Along the walls, there are elaborate Greek key (meander) patterns and ornamental bands featuring mythological creatures rendered in the mosaic work. The composition is perfectly symmetrical, a characteristic trait of Listri's architectural photography. At the far end of the pool, there's an elegant arched bridge or walkway made of light-colored stone, likely marble, with carved decorative elements. Natural light streams in through a window visible beyond the archway, creating a dramatic reflection on the still water of the pool. The ceiling appears to have exposed wooden beams, providing an interesting contrast to the ornate tilework below. The overall color palette is dominated by deep blues and gold, with the white marble architectural elements providing striking contrast. Listri's technical mastery is evident in how he's captured both the intricate details of the mosaic work and the perfect mirror-like reflection in the pool's surface, while maintaining the architectural grandeur of the space. The photograph conveys both the opulence and the serenity of this remarkable indoor pool. Massimo Listri is an Italian photographer renowned for capturing the most grandiose architecture that man has to offer. His captivating images of palazzos, villas, and libraries, vast and silent, are carved out by symmetry, contrast, and light. Composing images that lead the eye into the framed pictorial space, Listri offers an entry into the majesty of landmarks, such as the Metropolitan in New York, the Vatican Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires, and the renowned architecture of Niemeyer in Sao Paulo. Frozen in time yet full of history, Listri’s photographs are a commitment to absolute beauty.
