Slim Aarons

Duca Di Palma is akin to a finely crafted timepiece, where each tick resonates with elegance and sophistication. Just as the gears of the watch interlock seamlessly to convey the passage of time, this photograph encapsulates a moment of refined intimacy between the Duke of Palma and his wife amidst a library that speaks volumes of heritage and intellect. The book-lined walls serve as both a frame and a narrative, enriching the scene much like intricate engravings enhance the beauty of a luxury watch.

Duca Di Palma captures an intimate portrait of aristocratic Sicilian life as Slim Aarons photographed Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi di Lampedusa, the Duke of Palma, and his wife Nicoletta in the book-lined library of their Palermo palace in the 1980s. The towering shelves create a backdrop of literary heritage, their spines bearing witness to generations of collected wisdom, while the couple shares a quiet moment that speaks to both romance and refinement in one of Sicily's most distinguished households.

This photograph transforms your space into a celebration of European aristocracy and intellectual elegance, where the timeless appeal of a personal library meets the allure of Sicilian nobility. Duca Di Palma becomes more than decoration, it invites sophisticated conversation about history, literature, and the graceful lifestyle of Italy's storied families. Whether gracing a traditional study or adding continental charm to contemporary interiors, this print brings the mystique of palace life into your home, creating an atmosphere where culture and refinement naturally converge.

Available in museum-quality photo lustre or elegant matte finish, Slim Aarons work can be professionally framed in your choice of black, white, or natural wood to complement your décor. This print serves as a window into aristocratic Sicily, transforming any room into a gallery where untold stories and timeless elegance become part of your daily environment.

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.
