art featuring tuscan countryside
 
Redecorating and have a spot for three prints perhaps 15 x 18" each approx. I would love to find three prints that would remind us of our times in Tuscany. Any artists you might suggest or actual artwork? Maybe countrysides with cypress trees or a villa in the distance...I'm in Canada but could order from U.S. if I had a source. Thanks.

Try Allposters.com. I typed in a Search for "Tuscany" and found 157 prints in varying sizes, most very reasonably priced.

Make a research for the "macchiaioli" painters. This was a movement that developed in Italy in late XIX and early XX century. Most macchiaioli painter were from Tuscany and they painted lots of Tuscany scenes, although they tended to prefer the rougher and wilder Maremma landscapes over the hilly Chanti.

art.com has many beautiful Tuscan prints. Just type in Tuscany in search box. 80 items listed.

What a good excuse for a trip to Tuscany. Or better yet, send me! I'd be happy to pick out just what you want. \:D/

And then there is that beuatiful background scenery in what is popularly called the "Mona Lisa!"

I just read an article today on the BBC about Tuscany and artwork. This might be of interest to you:
