Gallerie Degli Uffizi

The Uffizi Gallery is one of the most sought-after art museums in the world, with over 2,000 masterpieces of priceless value. Your guide will lead you through the various halls ensuring you visit the most famous and fascinating works of art. Starting in chronological order, your tour will begin with the “birth of the Renaissance,” in the thirteenth century. Admire the gothic paintings of “Madonna and the child” with their bright colors and golden accents. Your guide will point out the masterpiece by Giotto, the first artist who broke barriers with his three-dimensional elements. Next, you will venture into international gothic art, another turning point in the Renaissance. During this period, artists began telling a story in paintings, instead of simply depicting characters. The best example of this is “Adoration of the Magi,” by Gentile da Fabriano.

Your guide will then lead you to, “Battle of San Romano,” which vividly tells the story of a battle between Siena and Florence in 1432. Learn more about this fascinating masterpiece, its artist, and the cultural factors which led to this change in artistic style from your expert guide! During this period, artists continued experimenting more with three-dimensional space, and you can witness this progression in two of the most famous works of art in the Uffizi, “Madonna with Child and Two Angels,” by Filippo Lippi; then, “Dukes of Urbino,” by Piero della Francesca. These artists began to idealize the features of men and women in paintings, which greatly influenced later artists including Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael.
