Vintage Florence Dome Map

Art Analysis
A Cartographic Portrait of the Florentine Skyline
In this work, Simon Goggin explores the dense, terracotta-hued landscape of Florence by focusing on its most recognizable silhouette. The composition utilizes a vertical orientation to emphasize the height and dominance of the dome, surrounded by the intricate, winding arteries of the city streets. The color palette leans into aged tones, suggesting a document that has weathered time while maintaining the clarity of its original intent.
The piece functions as both a navigational tool and a structural portrait. By isolating the dome within the wider grid of the city, Goggin highlights the relationship between monumental architecture and the everyday scale of the surrounding neighborhood. The linework is deliberate and steady, capturing the organized chaos of an ancient city layout with a sense of quiet permanence.
The portrait orientation emphasizes the height of the structures and the soaring feeling of looking up through narrow city streets.
The composition uses an aerial perspective to map the density and flow of Stockholm’s unique island geography.
The composition relies on the sharp, intersecting lines of buildings to create a sense of depth and structural order.
