Lisbon Photography, Housewarming Gift, Set of 3 on sale Prints, Portugal, Portuguese Gifts, Wall Art Prints, Deborah Julian

"Is Lisbon beautiful?" This set of three wall art prints from the Alfama showing how history etched beauty into the oldest parts of the city that cannot be erased by time. Alfama is where the ancient fishing village began, and it remains pretty much unchanged for centuries. Taking a walk along its twisting, narrow streets is like walking through history, a very beautifully respected history.

The first picture in this set is simply named "Alfama." It's a perspective looking down at the old homes and churches clustered on the waterfront. (Original image: https://www.etsy.com/sg-en/listing/244905458/lisbon-portugal-artalfamafine-art).

The next two images are more intimate, starting with "Lisbon, Uphill Through History." (Original: https://www.etsy.com/listing/245040414/lisbon-uphill-through-history-portugal). A stairway climbs up an alley between painted walls, showing how closely people once lived.

"Walking Through History" (https://www.etsy.com/listing/245042346/portugal-art-walking-in-history-alfama) features a curling, cobbled street, where an on sale older man walks and cars seem peculiarly out of place.

I put these pictures together as a set because they make such a poetic statement about the unforgettable artfulness that's existed in Lisbon for a thousand years. Imagine all the people who walked these streets before and the builders, without modern tools, who put premium on the beauty of their little, hilly fishing village.

The "Is Lisbon Beautiful?" Set of three wall art prints is available in three versions. 1) 8 1/2 X 11 inch giclee fine art prints; 2) the same prints but with the images set in 11 X 14 inch textured white mats: and 3) large 13 X 19 inch poster size giclee prints. They can be matched in any sequence as you like or even hung separately.

I made all of my own prints on Archival Epson Paper, and each is signed on the back or on the white border beneath the image.
