UFFIZI. 100 CAPOLAVORI

Italy’s most important museum, which attracts visitors from all over the world: the Uffizi in Florence. The gallery is the heart of the city and a veritable treasure chest of the Renaissance, in Italy and elsewhere. Here we find masterpieces by Botticelli, the Birth of Venus and the Allegory of Spring; one of the very first paintings by Leonardo da Vinci; the Majesties by Giotto, Duccio and Cimabue; Michelangelo’s Tondo Doni, as well as Raphael, Rubens, Caravaggio and Rembrandt. The book has selected the hundred most important works in the collection, the ones that simply cannot be missed, illustrated and described them for the general public of art lovers. The book is particularly well curated from a graphic viewpoint, a selection of everything that must be seen in the prestigious Florentine museum, with a clear and exhaustive description of each work. The author Gloria Fossi, an art historian, is specialised in, among other subjects, the artists and figurative culture of the Renaissance.
