What would happen if you had the time to explore places you had never been, in a way that let you discover their past and present, to seek out natural beauty and to immerse yourself in the best of modern life?
From her home base in Florence, Italy, Kristin Krebs-Dick photographed fourteen countries and more than 60 regions. Through Alberti's Window is a curated perspective on some of the most beautiful known and more concealed places in Europe and the Mediterranean.
Her vivid images combine on the page to reveal frozen moments of history, the natural world and more recent cultural creations found in Italy, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Morocco, Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom.
In a nod to the less-well-known Renaissance master, Leon Battista Alberti, the book's title hits at the heart of how exploration uncovers deeper insight into things previously unknown. If we are able to take the time to learn, we can also share that experience with others.
Looking Through Alberti's Window will inspire a sense of wonder and optimism about our world, whether you desire to be an armchair or actual traveler.
