Slim Aarons
Il Canille
Captured in August 1980, this Slim Aarons photograph finds sunbathers lounging on the white-painted terrace of Il Canille, a villa built into the rocks of Pizzolungo, overlooking the waters off the coast of Capri. Owned by celebrated Italian tailor and fashion designer Umberto Tirelli, it's a portrait of la dolce vita at its most effortless, sun, stone and sea in equal measure.
Slim Aarons made his name capturing the casual elegance of high society through the mid-20th century. After serving as a WWII combat photographer, he turned his lens to film stars and aristocracy at play, offering an insider's view of the elite long before social media. This print is a glimpse into a lost era of style, grace, and unhurried leisure.
