\"Uffizi<\/a>

Uffizi Gallery, Italy \u2013 one of the oldest art museums in the world<\/p><\/div>\n

Uffizi Gallery<\/strong>, which was originally designed by Vasari in the 15th century, is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Florence. It has a wide collection of Florentine paintings from the Late Gothic through the Renaissance and Mannerist periods. The gallery truly illustrates the evolving story of the Italians while shedding light on the role that citizens in Florence played in the Renaissance movement.<\/p>\n

The works of art in the gallery are housed in series of rooms that number over forty. Since it\u2019s hard to appreciate each work in its halls, there are a number of things that should definitely be seen during a visit to the Uffizi Gallery. Few of them are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Birth of Venus by Botticelli: This is one of the most appreciated works of art and was – painted between 1482 and 1485. This painting because of it\u2019s art and rich meaning is a landmark for Italian painting in XV century.<\/li>\n
  • Venus of Urbino by Titian: This painting has many hidden meanings and served as a teaching model to the wife of the Duke reminding her of the marital obligations that she would have to keep in mind for her husband.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Apart from these, there are many more paintings that should be glanced at while walking through the gallery. Large groups of people tend to leave the gallery after 4pm and those that want to appreciate these timeless treasures with patience and respect should use the remaining time to do so at their own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
