In the 16th century the wealthy and powerful Medici family began amassing fine art and displaying it in the Uffizi  their showplace palace in the heart of Florence. Ruling Tuscany for another two centuries  the family continually enriched its holdings with works by the best European artists of the time  many of them commissioned or acquired from the artists themselves. When the collection was donated to the city of Florence in 1737  it was  in essence  given to the people  and this ensured that the collection would remain intact in its original building. In this skillful and dazzling selection of paintings from the Galleria degli Uffizi are the greatest works by the early Renaissance artists-Giotto  Piero della Francesca  Mantegna  Botticelli  Leonardo  Michelangelo  Raphael-and by the later Italians such as Caravaggio  Tiepolo  and Canaletto. Artists from throughout Europe are also well represented  among them Drer  El Greco  Rubens  Velzquez  Rembrandt  Boucher  and Goya  in this tiny jewel of a book.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44810592124981,"sku":"ByrdShop_0789205750","price":118.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0789205750_520776d0-2fd0-48da-9ef8-0bfaacfeaaff.jpg?v=1765628607","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/treasures-of-the-uffizi-florence-tiny-folio","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
