Ask us for options. Massimo Listri is an Italian photographer best known for his large-scale images of majestic, empty interior spaces. In his photographs of castles, abandoned houses, libraries, cathedrals, and theaters, Listri often symmetrically composes the space in order to lead the eye into the framed pictorial space. In his balanced compositions, the artist captures a sense of awe while celebrating the intricacy of grand architecture. Born in 1953 in Florence, Italy, Listri began taking photographs at a young age. In 1981, he helped found FMR magazine and went on to publish his own work in numerous architectural books. The artist’s works have been exhibited in the Morgan Library and Museum in New York, the Museum of Modern Art in Bogota, the Vatican Museum in Rome, and the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art, among others. Listri lives and works in Florence, Italy.

Next to Hecate is Artemis, the goddess of the hunt; in keeping with her function she fights with a bow and arrow against a Giant who is perhaps Otos. Her hunting dog kills another Giant with a bite to the neck. Atemis’ mother Leto fights at her side using a torch against an animal-like Giant; at her other side her son and Artemis’ twin, Apollo, fights. Like his sister, he is armed with bow and arrow and has just shot Ephialtes, who lies at his feet.
