Coming Ashore awakens your space with an extraordinary tableau of Mediterranean privilege as Count Filippo Theodoli's Magnum motorboat arrives at Il Pellicano Hotel's private jetty in Porto Ercole, August 1973. Slim Aarons captured this theatrical moment from above: a white speedboat cuts through deep sapphire waters while a figure in vibrant red awaits on weathered wooden planks extending into brilliant peacock blue shallows. Three red and blue striped umbrellas shelter loungers on the rugged limestone shore, where transparent waters expose hidden rocks beneath Mediterranean sunshine.

Everyone will instantly recognize this icon of Italian aristocracy, sparking elevated conversations about rare travel and rarefied experiences you clearly understand. The dramatic aerial perspective turns your walls into windows onto ultimate privilege, revealing every detail from the yacht floating in deep indigo waters to the intimate beach setup carved into ancient cliffs. Coming Ashore places you among those who appreciate that genuine luxury means private arrivals at places forever inaccessible to the masses, bringing Porto Ercole's most coveted moment directly into your personal sanctuary.

Each day presents a masterclass in refined living as Slim Aarons photographed the lifestyle where Mediterranean summers meant noble titles arriving by private vessel at secret coves. The striking vertical composition draws eyes from open sea to rocky shore, presenting both journey and destination. Every glance reinforces your appreciation for this prime when Il Pellicano attracted international royalty to Tuscany's dramatic coastline, making your room a gallery of unattainable style.

Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches — what size will I receive?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing format depends on the product type and your delivery location. In almost all cases, the difference between metric and imperial conversions is only a few millimetres.

Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print always matches the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it is included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.

Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame — the print size including any border. The frame moulding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.

Q: Are these limited-edition or numbered prints?
All prints are not produced in fixed or numbered editions. Each piece is made to order using archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine-art paper for exceptional clarity and longevity.
