About the Item

Beautiful portrait of the famous Theater Sao Carlo in Lisbon with a beautiful red and gold interior, photographed by the Master of Interior Photography Massimo Listri. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. 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, titled Teatro São Carlos, Lisbon, captures the grandeur and meticulous architectural beauty of one of Portugal’s most iconic opera houses. The image presents a breathtaking symmetrical perspective, leading the viewer’s eye down the central aisle towards the stage, where a theatrical set of rustic, aged interior is illuminated under dramatic lighting. The lavish Rococo-style decor dominates the composition, with gilded balconies, intricate stucco work, and ornate moldings adorning the theater’s multi-tiered seating. Each box is framed by golden embellishments and glowing chandeliers, casting a warm, intimate light that enhances the opulence of the space. Above, the majestic ceiling showcases elaborate frescoes and classical motifs, adding to the venue's timeless elegance. The contrast between the ornate surroundings and the minimalist, almost weathered stage set creates a compelling juxtaposition—highlighting the transformative power of theater, where grand spaces can become intimate storytelling environments. The deep perspective, rich textures, and meticulous attention to light and shadow are hallmarks of Listri’s photographic style, emphasizing harmony, symmetry, and reverence for historical architecture. This image beautifully encapsulates the grandeur of classical European theaters, inviting the viewer into a moment of stillness before the performance begins. 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.
