Uffizi Gallery in Florence

The Uffizi Gallery is certainly the most popular museum in Florence and one of the most outstanding painting gallery in the world.
Actually the Uffizi Gallery houses the largest Renaissance collection of paintings displayed in chronological order. From Cimabue, the greatest master of the romanesque style, the itinerary through the museum shows the revolution carried on by  Giotto at the beginning of the 14^th century up to  the precious late gothic art of Gentile da Fabriano of the early Quattrocento.  Paintings by Masaccio, Paolo Uccello, Piero della Francesca and Filippo Lippi witness the new ideas of the Renaissance, while the golden age of Lorenzo the Magnificent is the background of the masterpieces by Sandro Botticelli, the Birth of Venus and the Allegory of Spring. The exhibit continues with famous paintings of the 16^th century,  by Leonardo, Raffaello, Tiziano and Michelangelo: of the great genius the museum owns the only documented picture, the Doni Tondo.  A large section, dedicated  to Seicento artists, displays  the Bacchus and the Medusa by Caravaggio and artworks by many of his followers, among them the famous Artemisia  Gentileschi. The most recent period represented in the collection  is Neoclassical art of the 18^thcentury, the prelude to modern art.
