Riva in Porto Ercole by Slim Aarons Print on Metal

Slim Aarons captures timeless Riviera glamour in Riva in Porto Ercole. Printed on Chromaluxe metal with optional floater frames. Exclusive to The Picturalist.

Riva in Porto Ercole by Slim Aarons captures the carefree elegance of Mediterranean summer at its finest. Aboard a polished Riva Aquarama, a group of sun-kissed friends lounge over the crystalline waters of the Italian coast — a portrait of style, leisure, and la dolce vita.

Shot along Tuscany’s Argentario Peninsula, this photograph embodies Aarons’ singular ability to frame the beauty of privileged worlds with warmth and artistry. His lens immortalizes a moment where luxury feels both natural and spontaneous — the very essence of mid-century sophistication.

At The Picturalist, this image from the Getty Images Gallery archives is masterfully reproduced on Chromaluxe aluminum, the premier process for fine-art metal printing. The photograph is infused directly into the metal surface, producing a luminous finish with remarkable depth, color, and detail. The result is a contemporary work of art that retains the timeless charm of Aarons’ original vision.

Collectors and designers may choose between a matte or glossy finish, and the option of a custom floater frame recessed by ¼ inch, exclusive to The Picturalist Custom Framing Collection. Each piece is printed and assembled in the USA to museum-grade standards and is officially licensed through Getty Images Gallery.

Ideal for coastal homes, boutique hotels, yacht interiors, and design showrooms, Riva in Porto Ercole pairs perfectly with other Slim Aarons icons such as Windsurf in Porto Ercole and Beach at Il Pellicano. Together, they form a cohesive narrative of sun-drenched European elegance — an invitation to live beautifully.

This artwork brings the serenity of the sea and the glamour of a bygone era into modern interiors, creating spaces that feel refined, light-filled, and effortlessly stylish.
