In the late Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, Florence was a capital of the arts, and in the 15th century (Quattrocento), the art metropolis of all. Here the wishes of rich merchants and bankers met the skills of artists such as Brunelleschi, Masaccio, or Donatello. Even in Florence today, the past is present through art - from the Cathedral, whose dome rises above the city, to the squares, churches, and palaces, to the sculptures in public space. Museums such as Uffizi, Palazzo Pitti, Bargello, and many other collections are world-class and attract millions of visitors every year. With over 450 illustrations, this volume offers a richly illustrated art history of the city of Florence.
