Southeast Light - Block Island, RI

About the artwork

This aerial photograph captures the historic Block Island Southeast Lighthouse, a striking brick tower perched on the bluffs of Block Island, Rhode Island. The image highlights the lighthouse’s beautiful architectural details, including its octagonal lantern room and slate roofed keeper’s house, set against a backdrop of lush greenery and the distant ocean horizon. This lighthouse, originally built in 1875, was famously moved back from the eroding bluff in 1993 to preserve it from falling into the sea, adding to its fascinating history.

Photographed using kite aerial photography, this unique perspective shows the lighthouse as few ever see it, emphasizing both its impressive scale and its connection to the surrounding landscape. This photograph is perfect for lighthouse enthusiasts, coastal décor lovers, or anyone looking to bring a piece of New England’s maritime heritage into their home or office.

Choosing the Right Surface

Each print surface offers its own strengths:

• Metal for the most vivid, contemporary presentation, with glossy or matte finishes.
• Canvas for classic look and value in larger pieces, always matte.
• Paper for flexibility and accessibility in smaller sizes, with a matte/luster surface.

Canvas – Printed on artist grade canvas and stretched over a solid wood frame, canvas prints offer a ready to hang, gallery style presentation. Canvas has a beautiful matte finish and looks best when paired with a float frame.
