Giardino del Duca Collection: Capturing the Beauty of Michele’s Garden and Duke the Borzoi
The idea for the “Giardino del Duca” collection of prints was inspired by a beautiful performance of Franz Schubert’s lieder by David Fray, as transcribed by Franz Liszt. The moving chords of the music evoked the scent of ancient roses and the image of Duke, a magnificent borzoi, gracefully moving among the flowering plants in Michele’s garden.
Just as Liszt gave his interpretation of Schubert’s songs through his piano transcriptions, the artist behind “Giardino del Duca” sought to interpret the beauty of Duke and his garden through photography. The goal was to capture the essence of Duke and the enchanting garden, much like Liszt captured the essence of Schubert’s music.
The artist, in collaboration with Michele, began the process of interpreting the beauty of Duke and his garden through a series of photographic portraits. The result is a collection of stunning images that capture the grace and elegance of Duke, set against the backdrop of the beautiful garden.
To complement each photograph, the artist has associated a liszt of lieder transcribed by Liszt. This “soundtrack” adds another layer of depth to the visual experience, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the world of Duke and Michele’s garden through both sight and sound. The accompanying Playlist, “Garden of the Duke,” is available on the artist’s Spotify account.
The “Giardino del Duca” collection is available as a limited edition of 30 pieces, printed on high-quality glossy photo paper. Each print is 40×50 cm in size, making it a striking addition to any art collection. As an original creation from 2022, these prints offer a unique opportunity to own a piece of art that captures the beauty of Duke and the garden in a timeless and elegant manner.
The collection is a celebration of dogs, specifically Duke, and the natural beauty found in Michele’s garden. The portraits of Duke are not simply photographs of a dog, but rather works of art that capture his spirit and grace. Each image tells a story and evokes a sense of wonder and admiration for Duke and his surroundings.
For those interested in adding a piece from the “Giardino del Duca” collection to their own collection, shipping is available both domestically and internationally. However, shipments from Italy may experience delays due to the country’s regulations for exporting valuable artworks. Nonetheless, the wait is well worth it for those who wish to bring a piece of Duke and Michele’s garden into their homes.
In conclusion, “Giardino del Duca” is a collection of photographic prints that beautifully captures the essence of Duke the borzoi and Michele’s garden. It is a testament to the beauty of nature and the grace of dogs, presented in a way that is both timeless and captivating. For anyone who appreciates art, animals, or the natural world, these prints are a must-have addition to any collection.
