There is definitely something different about seeing the light hit the land from one of the villas in Tuscany. Ask any artist who has ever been there, and they will tell you about the amazing colours and the magical way the light shines: the richness of the colours as the sun strikes the rolling hills, the golden fields, the moss-lined castles, and even the eaves on newer cream coloured villas.

In Tuscany, sunlight is the secret magical ingredient of the region – and the reason behind its many riches of art, the wine, the olives and yield of golden olive oil, and the food. And it is the sunlight – and what and how it strikes – that many artists travel far and wide to see.

Sunlight, Colors and Landscapes

If ever there was a region made for painting, Tuscany is it. From the time of your arrival to stay in one of the enchanting villas in Tuscany, one look inspires creativity. Tree-lined village streets, winding roads leading to rustic farmhouses, ancient castles, and views of rolling hills with vineyards of luscious grapes – all brushed by the magical Tuscan sun. And that’s only the beginning!

It’s a truly fascinating region – whether you are in the magnificent, bustling city of Florence or a rural town with high stone walls and picturesque villas. In Tuscany, it seems that everything is artful and impeccably crafted, with a landscape that makes you wonder whether it is a masterpiece of nature, or that of an unknown craftsman. Add to that the stunning architecture, the food, the wines, and of course the paintings and sculptures, and it’s not hard to see why the region is an artist’s Mecca.

Art Holidays In Tuscany

There’s always something fascinating to paint, no matter where you are in this region – in fact, you don’t even need to venture far from your villas. In Tuscany’s cities and countryside, there is no end to the opportunities for painting: plein air painting to capture the picturesque vineyards, the aqua skies and rustic crumbling buildings; still-life painting to catch the freshness of the grapes, produce, and flowers at the peak of their beauty; and even portraits of the local Italian life on the streets. Even a stop at a roadside café can trigger the impulse to bring out your sketchbook and pencil – inspiration seems to strike more frequently in Tuscany.

Or just be inspired

On days when you don’t feel like lugging the easel or sketchbook, borrow some inspiration from the masters. Leave the countryside with its villas in Tuscany and take a trip to the art and architectural wonders of Florence – the Uffizzi and the Accademia – or head to Pisa’s spectacular Duomo. In fact, Tuscany is rich in museums and galleries that are home to some of the world’s greatest masterpieces, and by the time you’re finished, you just may have created one of your very own.
