Three visions of the perfect city. One extraordinary triptych.

The Ideal City is a set of three handcrafted wall sculptures featuring the three celebrated 15th-century Renaissance perspective paintings known as the Ideal City panels — kept respectively in Baltimore, Urbino, and Berlin, and of unknown authorship, though various great Renaissance masters have been proposed.

These extraordinary paintings celebrate the values of a well-ordered society, using architecture as a metaphor for good government. Their mathematical perspective systems — developed in Florence — draw the eye to a single vanishing point with an almost hypnotic intensity, creating a powerful illusion of depth and space.

Displayed as a triptych across a wide wall, the three sculptures create dramatic moments of depth and focus — classicism with a contemporary industrial elegance. Each piece is hand-welded in mild steel with high-transparency acrylic glass protecting a high-quality black and white print.

A perfect statement piece for architects, designers, historians, and lovers of Renaissance art.

Product Safety & Compliance Information

Legal Notice & Artistic Nature

This is an original, handmade work of art, produced in a
limited series and intended for collectors and decorative display purposes
only. In the interest of full transparency and the safety of our collectors, we
provide the following information regarding the correct handling and
preservation of the artwork.

Intended Use & Environment

  • Indoor
    use only. This sculpture is designed exclusively for indoor decorative
    display. Exposure to outdoor conditions — including rain, moisture, frost,
    or high humidity — will cause corrosion of the metal components and
    degradation of the acrylic elements.
  • Not
    a toy. This is a professional artwork and is not intended for children.
    Please keep it out of reach of children and pets at all times.

Material Hazards & Handling

  • Metal
    components may include intentional sharp edges, points, or delicate
    structural details inherent to the artistic design. Handle with care
    during unboxing and placement to avoid injury or damage to the piece.
  • Acrylic
    elements should not be subjected to excessive pressure or impact, as they
    may crack or detach from the metal frame.
  • Stability:
    Place the sculpture on a flat, stable, and sturdy surface capable of
    supporting its weight. Avoid high-traffic areas where it could be
    accidentally knocked over.

Maintenance & Care

  • Cleaning:
    Use only a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Never use alcohol, chemical
    solvents, or abrasive products — these will permanently cloud, scratch, or
    crack the acrylic surface.
  • Heat
    & light: Keep away from open flames, candles, and direct high-heat
    sources. Prolonged exposure to intense heat or direct sunlight may warp or
    discolour the acrylic components.
