E begin our review of the public galleries with the Uffizi, as it contains the works of artists from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century, arranged chronologically, and thus illustrating-the History of Art from the revival to the decline. The limits of this volume oblige us to confine our description almost entirely to Tuscan, and especially Florentine Art; and, with rare exceptions, we mention the names or works of celebrated painters or sculptors of other schools. We hope thus to afford some assistance to the foreigner who may not have time to acquire a profound knowledge of the subject, and who, at first sight, may find it difficult to discover any merit, still less beauty, in the early native style of painting. The Corridor extending along three sides of the Uffizi Gallery is lined with sarcophagi, statues, and busts, as well as pictures, all deserving attention, though, with few excep First Corridor. v tions, inferior to the works of art contained in the adjoining rooms. Beneath the vaulted ceiling, which is painted in arabesques, are portraits of emperors, kings, and distinguished persons of all nations; they are only, however, inferior copies of mediocre pictures, and were placed here by the Grand-Duke Cosimo I. The earliest example of art in the gallery--No. i--is a picture of the Madonna and Child, by Andrea Rico of Candia, who lived in the latter half of the eleventh century. His works belong to what is called Byzantine art. The treatment of the subject is conventional; the figures disposed according to established usage, or in the manner commonly practised by the artists in Byzantium (Constantinople). The Child, seated on one hand of the Virgin, clings with a natural...

Excerpt: ...Tribune of the Uffizi Gallery, is said to have been painted for this Abbot of Vallombrosa." Beyond the room containing these pictures is a small collection of drawings, or cartoons, by eminent painters. The Apostles Peter and Paul, by Fra Bartolommeo, are the original designs for paintings now in the Quirinal, at Rome. N o. 8. Christ appearing to the Marys, by Baroccio. No. 18, a Holy Family, and No. 22, St. Dominick, by Fra Bartolommeo. No. 5. A Virgin and Child, attributed, with great probability, to Raifaelle. No. 21, a still more lovely drawing of the subject, likewise attributed to him, but doubtful. No. 2 is a copy of Raffaelle's Madonna della Gatta. No. 6. A colossal female head, said to be intended for the Virgin, is by Correggio. There are also drawings by Lorenzo Credi, Pocetti, Bronzino, Baroccio, and Cigoli. A custode, from the Accademia, will accompany the visitor who may desire to see the celebrated works of Andrea del Sarto, at the Scalzo, in the Via Cavour. This building was at one time part of the dwelling of Ottaviano de' Medici, situated near the gardens of San Marco; and in a room above, the Scalzi, or "Barefooted" Friars held their meetings. These friars were called Scalzi because, when they bore the crucifix in public processions, they always walked barefoot. The house had a cortile, or court, with cloisters resting on columns; and when Andrea del Sarto was beginning life as an artist, and living with his friend, Franciabigio, near the Mercato del Grano, they were both employed by this confraternity to adorn the walls with frescos in chiaroscuro. The subject chosen was the Life of St. John the Baptist, to which saint the confraternity was dedicated. The only joint work of the artists was...

Download or read book Florencewalks written by Anne Holler and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of Florence's art is not in her world-famous museums but in her streets, and those treasures can only be seen by those who explore this lovely, medieval city on foot. The four intimate walking tours in Florencewalks lead you through centuries of Italian history and architecture--around corners that hide marble gods and goddesses, down hushed alleys pervaded by the aroma of spices and pastas, out onto sun-washed piazzas flanked by churches and palazzos and open-air markets. Easily completed in a morning of afternoon, each walk includes plenty of spots along the way to sit and read, rest, or browse. In addition to maps of each walk, and more than thirty photographs, Florencewalks also contains a detailed section of visitor information and advice, a concise chronology of the city's history, an index, and a list of particularly special trattorias, wine bars, and shops.
