Kilometers of art and beauty. Epochs, artists, and masterpieces change one by one… We decided with a friend to go to an evening session 1.5 hours before closing time and had incredible pleasure, as the building itself, shadows and reflection began to flirt with us and create new masterpieces. If you are in Florence, then be sure to visit the gallery for at least an hour, preferably the first hours or 1.5 hours before closing. The museum map will help you.

Although the Uffizi Gallery is small in size, it contains some masterpieces that are well known throughout the world. Botticelli, Titian, Bronzino, Leonardo - all these names are forever written in the history of art. And I must say that the paintings selected here are also incredible. Personally, I was very impressed by Alessandro Botticelli. His paintings were well known to me from reproductions, but in reality they are deeper and more voluminous. I couldn't get away from his "Spring" for about thirty minutes. A special effect is observed in the gallery if you get into it before sunset. This was the case with me on my very first visit to her. At this moment, there are few visitors, and the setting sun fills the space with magical light. It's a real miracle, right to the point of tears.

One of the best art galleries in Italy, where the most famous paintings of the masters of the Italian Renaissance are collected. Including works by Filippo Lippi, Botticelli, Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael. It takes about 3 and a half hours to visit and inspect her, if you're lucky. We had a guide, Natalia, whose story inspired us so much that we wanted to stay here longer. The so-called "Florence syndrome" is associated with visiting the museum. A person who is impressed and influenced by works of art is suddenly so overwhelmed by the depth of feelings and emotions from the perception of beauty and the artist's intention that "unable to contain them, he begins to cry " or falls into an epileptic fit. There are about 20 cases per year, and the museum's security is specially prepared for such situations. As for our visit, I was really % impressed in the hall, where, among other beautiful works, there is a painting "The Birth of Venus" by Botticelli. I don't know about the syndrome, but my head was spinning and it wasn't childish) It's a good thing I wasn't alone. ☝️ Michelangelo's famous David sculpture "with disproportionately long" arms is not in the right place and level for which it was intended. The master's idea was that the viewer would look at her from the bottom up and in this perspective the proportions would be normal. It is currently on display in another museum in the city.
