Florence and Europe. Arts of the Eighteenth Century at the Uffizi
28 May, 2025 to 28 November, 2025
Uffizi Gallery
Piazzale degli Uffizi, 6, Firenze 50122
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.
