Review
From The Good Book Guide The highlight of this wonderful book is the hundreds of pages of fine reproductions of the great painintings. An indispensable guide to anyone visiting Florence and a delight to peruse at home --The Goodbook Guide
From Antiques Magazine This diminutive palm sized reference guide to the treasures of the Uffizi is an excellent introduction to one of the worlds oldest and most revered museums. An ideal guide to those visiting the gallery or enthusiasts seeking information on the collections of the Uffizi, this is informative enough to provide basic scholarly information too. Illustrated by over 300 beautiful reproductions, this small book strikes a fine balance between text and image, and manages to squeeze a vast amount of information into a limited space. --Antiques Magazine
Product Description
A lasting historical record and easily accessible guide that is equally useful to the expert and the cultured tourist. The book is divided into chapters accompanied by superbly clear descriptions, splendid illustrations and brief supplementary biographies of the great masters. The works of art are listed with all the information essential to the scholar (location within the gallery, name of artist, iconographic subject, dating, technique, dimensions and inventory number). All the artists and all the works can be easily consulted in the comprehensive indices arranged in alphabetical order. Not only are the works present on the usual tourist itinerary illustrated but the book also clarifies the history of the museum, the role played by the Medici family, and the nature of the gallery, which is a magnificent anthology of great Italian and European art.
