The Uffizi is one of the must-sees in Florence, the world-known art gallery. It is the home of two of the world's most famous paintings: Botticelli's Primavera and The Birth of Venus. I will help you to discover, understand and love the Uffizi's masterpieces. This tour concentrates on the most important items in the Galley. We start with its history and explore the development of Italian painting from the very beginning: Giotto, Cimabue and early pre-Renaissance painting. Then we pass through Masaccio, Botticelli and Filippo Lippi, underlining the connection between the artists. The High Renaissance is represented by works by Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. We also examine their followers: Andrea del Sarto, Rosso Fiorentino, Bronzino and Pontormo. At the end of our itinerary we see Caravaggio, Rubens and Rembrandt. The Medici family collected these art works through generations, and we can say thanks to them at the end of he visit.
The Uffizi, built for the Grand Duke by Vasari in the XVI century, is one of the oldest and is counted as one of greatest museums in the world. It can boast of paintings by the exquisite Botticelli, Leonardo, creator of sfumato, Michelangelo, the creator of the "terza maniera” and Raphael, who died tragically young. Works by Caravaggio and Titian hang here and there is an important collection of Flemish, Dutch and French paintings. The gallery displays paintings from the Florentine and Sienese XII centuries, the Early and High Renaissance, Mannerism and Baroque. It also houses an important collection of ancient sculpture. The building and the Piazza themselves are themselves of prime importance, as wonderful examples of Mannerism. The Uffizi are still being enlarged and an increasing number of works are leaving the deposits and finding a permanent home here.
