Florence and Europe. Arts of the Eighteenth Century at the Uffizi
The 'Age of Enlightenment' (and of reforms) is narrated through some 150 works set up in the ground floor rooms of the Gallery, with masterpieces by Goya, Tiepolo, Canaletto, Vig茅e Le Brun, Liotard, and Mengs: many never seen before, others hidden for over a decade due to the work to extend the exhibition route.
And not only that: there is also the impressive painting by the French master Pierre Subleyras, recently acquired and 'restored live' during the exhibition. And more: the Cabinet of Erotic Antiquities, reconstructed according to the fashion of the time, and spectacular views painted of iconic places on the Grand Tour.
Director Simone Verde: "We tell the story of a complex century through its aesthetic culture and at the same time the transformation of the Uffizi Galleries into Europe's first modern museum".
