In this lyrical volume, award-winning photographer Joel Meyerowitz and novelist Maggie Barrett journey through four seasons in Tuscany, a region celebrated for its beauty, its bounty, and above all its magnificent light. Meyerowitz first drew acclaim for his remarkable ability to capture subtle qualities of light with the 1978 publication of Cape Light, which went on to become a color photography classic.

This evocative new collection of images and commentary invites readers to experience the essence of Tuscany: sunlight gilding fields of ripe wheat, darkness lowering under summer skies, and townspeople riding their bicycles through the dappled streets. As the pages turn, dormant fields dusted with frost give way to the first struggling shoots of spring and finally to the ripeness of summer and the abundance of autumn. For those who appreciate the beauty of the Italian countryside and for lovers of fine photography everywhere, Tuscany is a personal and loving portrait of a truly unforgettable place.
