About the Item

This contemporary coastal photograph by Peter Mendelson captures a sunny, summer day on a beach along the Amalfi Coast in Italy. The title, meaning "The Good Life" in Italian is evident in this near bird's eye view of the beach, with tightly-placed rows of orange and yellow beach umbrellas, lining the sand all the way up to where the water begins. A vignette, or shadowed periphery, gives this piece a nostalgic aesthetic. "The sights and patterns of life along the coast," is how the photographer describes the scene. "Colors, tides and shadows blend with iconic motifs and experiences." The print is made to order, please allow two to three weeks for printing and production. An additional presentation option is that of Acrylic - please contact us to request this style. A New Englander in heart and soul, Peter Mendelson currently lives in Weston, Connecticut. After studying history at the University of Virginia and getting his law degree at the University of Pennsylvania, Peter moved to New York City to practice law, where he also started to gain an appreciation of urban architecture and street photography. Mostly self-taught, Peter further refined his vision through workshops conducted by various photographers, including Magnum photographer Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, landscape photographer Stephen Johnson, and NYC street photographer Phil Penman. Over time, he developed his particular style, using perspective, light, and color to capture the psychological power of urban and coastal spaces. Whether taken during his visit to the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas, his explorations of Miami Beach and the Maine coast, or even during commutes to and from New York City, his photographs focus on those things that are often overlooked, but which reward their viewers when given a second, deeper look. Peter’s work can be seen in exhibits and galleries in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
