Ponte Vecchio -- White 17oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle
The Ponte Vecchio—Florence’s beloved "Old Bridge"—is a masterpiece of history and charm. Spanning the Arno River with its medieval stone arches and rows of vibrant shops, it has stood as a symbol of the city's enduring beauty for centuries. Above it, the secret Vasari Corridor once allowed the powerful Medici family to move unseen, avoiding the bustling crowds below.
This piece is part of Alan Yost’s classical art series, combining white chalk art, figurative drawing, and museum-quality prints to evoke timeless elegance.
This piece, captured in colored pencil on toned paper, is a tribute to one of my favorite places on earth. My fascination with the Ponte Vecchio runs deep—I even built a model of it from a kit years ago. And every time I visit Florence, I find myself drawn back to its golden glow, its lively energy, and its place in history.
For lovers of Italian architecture and timeless scenery, this artwork brings a piece of Florence’s magic into your space.
