Porto Ercole captures Mediterranean luxury from an aerial vantage point above the harbor, revealing two bronzed women in vibrant yellow bikinis standing confidently on a sleek speedboat with bold pink and magenta upholstery, while three companions relax in the shadowed cockpit below. Shot by Slim Aarons hovering above Tuscany's most sought-after coastline, six sun-seekers appear distributed between the dark-hulled speedboat and a white yacht anchoring the composition's corner, all floating on deep jewel-toned waters so flawlessly clear that rocky seafloor patterns emerge beneath the glittering surface.

The speedboat's bold diagonal sweep dominates the frame with its pink and magenta cushions glowing against jewel-toned waters, while wooden decking gleams under bright Mediterranean sunlight that forms dramatic geometric shadows across the vessel's surface. Your living space gains Porto Ercole's legendary allure directly through this striking image, where knowledgeable patrons will immediately recognize the Monte Argentario setting that drew Jackie Kennedy and international nobility to these elite Italian waters throughout the decades.

Since 1960, Porto Ercole has served as the legendary summer retreat for this celebrated era's most accomplished travelers seeking Mediterranean perfection. Porto Ercole masterfully reveals this atmosphere where sunlight dances on water and bodies arrange themselves casually across boats, while Slim Aarons' genius for documenting moments positions you firmly among those who appreciate and understand authentic Italian coastal living at its finest.

Available in premium photo lustre or matte finish, professionally mounted in museum-quality black, white, or natural wood frames to complement and enhance any interior aesthetic.

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.
