Historical origins

Florence, located in central Italy, is rich in history and culture since the time of Etruscan. In 59 BC, the Romans founded this city on the Arno River and named it Florentia. In the following thousand years, Florence went through many regime changes. From the 14th to the 16th century, a European ideological and cultural movement emerged in the city, making Florence the birthplace of the Renaissance and the most famous art center in Europe. .

During this Renaissance movement, Florence produced a number of world-class masters, including poets Dante and Petrarch, writer Boccaccio, painter Leonardo da Vinci, sculptor Michelangelo, and historical and political thinker Ni Colo Machiavelli, Bruni, Vara and astronomer Galileo, etc. Their works and theories have become treasures in the world's cultural treasure house and have had a profound impact on later generations. The Uffizi Gallery established during this period witnessed the history of the Renaissance in Florence.

Witnesses of the Renaissance

The Uffizi Gallery has 45 exhibition halls and a collection of more than 100,000 pieces, displayed by era and genre. There are many amazing works of art collected here, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Tintoretto, Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Dyck, etc. There are paintings by Renaissance masters, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, and works by contemporary artists. The Uffizi Gallery is undoubtedly the shining jewel of the city of Florence.

Florence during the Renaissance was splendid because of its artistic masters and their works. As Engels pointed out: "This is the greatest and progressive change that mankind has ever experienced. It is a period that requires giants and produces giants - The age of giants in power of mind, enthusiasm and character, in versatility and learning.”

Florence not only gave birth to many outstanding artists, but also led the development and progress of an era. The city's Renaissance culture not only had a profound impact on the culture and art of the time, but also had an important impact on the development of culture and art in later generations. It is a treasure in the treasure house of human culture and a valuable resource for us to explore and study the culture and art of the Renaissance.
