Uffizi, the new fourteen rooms of the Florentine and Venetian sixteenth century. Exclusive photos


The Uffizi opens its fourteen new rooms dedicated to the Florentine and Veneto Cinquecento. Here is a selection of exclusive photos.

Last week the Uffizi Gallery opened its new fourteen rooms devoted to the Florentine and Venetian sixteenth centuries. In the spaces reclaimed from the rooms that until a few months ago were reserved for temporary exhibitions (roughly halfway along the route, before the seventeenth-century rooms), over 1,100 square meters (3,000 square feet) of space alternate with more than a hundred works, a third of which come from the deposits of the great museum in Florence. Masterpieces by Titian (among others, the Venus of Urbino and the Flora), Bronzino (the Portrait of Eleanor of Toledo and other Medici portraits), Veronese (the Martyrdom of St. Justina), Federico Barocci (the Madonna of the People, which returns to view after ten years of “purgatory” in storage, and the marvelous Noli me tangere), Giorgione(Moses and the Trial by Fire, theHomage to the Poet), Tintoretto (the Leda and the Swan), Sebastiano del Piombo (the Fornarina), Lorenzo Lotto (the Sacred Family and the Portrait of a Young Man), Jacopo Ligozzi (theAllegory of Virtue) and works by other great artists such as Giorgio Vasari, Palma il Vecchio, Jacopo Zucchi, Bernardino Licinio, Francesco Morandini known as Poppi, Andrea Commodi, Carlo Caliari and other great protagonists of the time.

The rooms are set up with two different colors: gray for the Florentine sixteenth century (a tribute to the color of the pietra serena stone that characterizes the architecture of the city of the time) and green for the Venetian sixteenth century (present in many paintings made by Venetian artists of the sixteenth century). A high-level, visitor-friendly layout (short captions with basic information about the works, wide spaces to best admire the works, plenty of seating scattered throughout the rooms, an organic and well-calibrated itinerary to allow for a better understanding of the changes in art during the period of reference), which ensures continuity to an exhibition itinerary that was previously “broken” by temporary exhibitions, and returns to the Uffizi and its public many works that for too long have been removed from view. Below is a selection of images of the new arrangements, exclusively for the Finestre sull’Arte audience.
