Gone Fishing

Description

Gone Fishing captures Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands and Prince Karim Aga Khan IV in a moment of refined leisure off the coast of Porto Cervo on Northern Sardinia's glittering coastline in August 1973. Slim Aarons frames this scene where azure Mediterranean waters meet royal tradition, as one prince puffs his signature pipe while the other casts his line into the crystalline sea. The casual elegance of their setting, the warm Italian light, and the unhurried rhythm of an aristocratic afternoon create an image that embodies the photographer's genius for revealing how privilege expressed itself through seemingly simple pleasures.

This print transforms your space into a portal to an era when leisure was an art form and status whispered rather than shouted. Gone Fishing brings the sophistication of European aristocracy and Mediterranean summers into your home, where each glance offers a reminder that true luxury lies in moments of genuine ease. Your guests will find themselves drawn to this window into a world where royalty chose quiet afternoons on the water over ceremony, where Slim Aarons captured not just faces but an entire philosophy of living well.

Available in photo lustre or matte finish and professionally framed in black, white, or natural wood. This photograph invites you to claim your own piece of that storied Mediterranean summer, bringing the timeless appeal of Aarons' vision into your daily life. Make this classic moment yours today.
