Caruso as Seen by Photographer Letizia Le Fur

There's a reason why Renaissance paintings loom large in our collective consciousness. From da Vinci to Botticelli, Michelangelo to Raphael, these works still resonate today — their soft hues and dramatic historical scenes signaling the transition from the Medieval to the Early Modern age, a rebirth of an entire outlook.

While Letizia Le Fur is enamored by these dramatic days of yore, she soon developed her own unique approach. Having first studied painting at the École des Beaux-Arts, she quickly discovered that photography was her medium of choice: an art through which she could channel her diverse creative outlook, which frequently focuses on otherworldly visions of beauty.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises: The Amazon Delivers

Curious about the Amazon, which represents about half of the Earth's remaining rainforest? The mighty Amazon River measures at least 4,000 miles...the distance from New York City to Rome — and is the world's largest. Its westernmost source is high in the Andes Mountains, within 100 miles of the Pacific Ocean, and it empties into the Atlantic on the northeastern coast of Brazil.
