Florence and Europe. Arts of the Eighteenth Century at the Uffizi

Published on August 15, 2025

The 'Age of Enlightenment' (and of reforms) is narrated through some 150 works set up in the ground floor rooms of the Gallery, with masterpieces by Goya, Tiepolo, Canaletto, Vigée Le Brun, Liotard, and Mengs: many never seen before, others hidden for over a decade due to the work to extend the exhibition route.

The aim of the exhibition is to recount, through art, an era of crucial changes for Western thought, aesthetics, and taste, and also for the Uffizi itself, which, in the 18th century, was completely transformed from a dynastic treasure chest of royal collections into a modern museum, the first in the world.

Running form May 28 – November 28, 2025, the exhbition takes place at the Uffizi Gallery, Piazzale degli Uffizi 6, Florence, 50122 Italy.
