About this print — Every single frame of the movie Bicycle Thieves has been analysed and averaged to a single colour. These colours are then arranged chronologically to create a unique fine art composition that captures the entire visual journey of Vittorio De Sica's film. Printed using archival pigment inks on 308gsm Hahnemühle photo rag fine art paper, each print is a museum-quality giclée produced to order and created in its original theatrical aspect ratio.

Ricci, an unemployed man in the depressed post-WWII economy of Italy, gets at last a good job - for which he needs a bike - hanging up posters. But soon his bicycle is stolen. He and his son walk the streets of Rome, looking for the bicycle. Ricci finally manages to locate the thief but with no proof, he has to abandon his cause. But he and his son know perfectly well that without a bike, Ricci won't be able to keep his job.
