COVER ART

The Florentine

issue 318, 2025

Teddy's original artwork, 'Florence is Optimistic' features on the cover of the January issue of the popular Italian culture and lifestyle magazine, The Florentine.

The artwork displays a strong pair of hands wearing white gloves holding an icon of the city of Florence providing strength and support to allow the city to feel optimistic about the future.

Drawn on an iPad, the Cathedral is deliberately rendered in an ephemeral manner echoing the fragility of the city caused by an ever increasing issue of over tourism and selfie hunters.

The original artwork is available from our online shop as a time-limited edition print from 1 January 2025 - 31 January 2025.

You can purchase a digital/paper copy of the magazine for 5 Euros from the official website, tap here

The Florentine is distributed across 100 outlets in Florence and areas of Tuscany. Outside of Italy, the magazine attracts a strong readership in the USA followed by the UK.
