About the Item

Post-Impressionist Golden Light illuminates six figures on Central Park's Bow Bridge. They are depicted in casual poses unburdened by everyday stresses. The low-angle backlighting source transforms the figures' hair into golden halos, making them seem like heavenly figures on Earth. In the foreground, out-of-focus foliage overlaps and frames the figures. The image was taken in 1977 and it is as abstract as it is representational and as dramatic as it is subdued. The video is showing up a little light. The still image are a little dark. In person, the color is somewhere in between. It was shot on Kodachome and there is some grain to the image visible mostly on close inspection. Signed and dated on lower right, numbered on verso Edition 2 of 15. Unframed.

Autumn at the Bow Bridge (Limited Edition of 25) - Landscape Photography
By Christopher Petsos
Located in New York, NY
This image captured by New York photographer Christopher Petsos in 2014, featuring The Bow Bridge (cast iron bridge), located in Central Park, New York City. The photograph demonstrates the beauty of New York City in the Fall, when the humidity of summer is gone but plenty of days with warm temperatures and blue skies remain to demonstrate a show of colorful foliage, as do the residential side streets and busy squares. Christopher Petsos is a New York City based photographer and artist. He is best known for capturing Light, pattern, texture, color and motion across the urban realm. Christopher Petsos believes that we see things through a filter of the self, a camera records the physical details of a scene, but our human eyes and sub-conscious self are the interpreters that complete our view of reality. In his own words: “Throughout the process, I stay faithful to the underlying truth of the scene. My work inhabits the space between literal depiction and my emotional Impression of the moment. The result is hyper-reality: facts imbued with feeling.” In this image, Christopher Petsos stands true to his words and brilliantly captures the light, pattern, texture, color and motion across the urban realm and painted it in his own colors to give the viewer a new perspective. Limited Numbered Edition of this iconic print on fine art archival pigment paper and signed by Christopher Petsos are available in the sizes below. We ship world-wide and shipping is free. Your choice of one or many artworks will be given the highest standard care and delivery. Limited Edition print orders, due to risk of damage, value and high shipping and insurance costs are not framed. All limited-edition prints are professionally packaged and shipped in sturdy tubes.
