A Path to the Duomo: A glimpse through Florence’s heartbeat

From a narrow street buzzing with locals, bikes, and international students, A Path to the Duomo captures a fleeting yet iconic view of Florence’s beloved basilica. With its massive orange dome rising in the distance, the composition reflects a city full of motion, history, and wonder. Lucks blends architectural detail with expressive brushwork, creating a piece that feels both grounded and atmospheric. It’s a tribute to the way Florence reveals itself - one street, one corner, one step at a time.

Inside the Art: The Story Behind A Path to the Duomo

A Path to the Duomo brings the viewer into a quintessential Florentine moment: walking through one of the city’s energetic side streets as the world-famous Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore reveals itself in the distance. Painted by Kyle Lucks as part of his Tuscany, Italy series, this piece blends dynamic street life with historic reverence. The bold strokes and textured palette mirror the energy of Florence itself: a mix of Renaissance grandeur and modern movement.

The Duomo, completed in 1436 and still holding the title of the largest masonry dome in the world, looms like a compass for those navigating Florence’s charming alleys. Lucks captures this balance of intimacy and scale with warm hues, layered architectural lines, and the feel of late afternoon light. The result is a vibrant work that transports the viewer - especially those who’ve walked these cobbled streets - into a moment that feels both personal and universal.
