Product Information
Text in English, French, Italian & German. In this collection Hegre shows over 100 photographs that pay homage to the Renaissance, the flowing contours of his exquisitely proportioned female figures against a backdrop of elegant palaces. Hegre's nudes are completely natural, no artifice or accessories, the combination a blend of the classic and contemporary -- the realisation of Hegre's youthful ambitions. We are in these photographs at once both in the present and transported back to some mystical time and place. Hegre has worked alone, without assistants, using primarily natural light and the rich ingredients of Tuscany; wine, olive oil, grape. A good proportion of the photographs in the collection were created at Villa Mangiacane, the 16th century stately home built for the Machiavelli family. The South African owner Glynn Cohen has restored the house and gardens to their original splendour, the ancient statuary and mesmerising pools creating a feeling that in Tuscany, time is eternal, as are Petter Hegre's photographs in this memorable collection.Product Identifiers
