Masterpieces of famous artists of the Renaissance and of the Baroque period, as Raffaello, Tiziano, Rubens, Van Dijk, hang from the walls according to illogical aesthetic  principles: the paintings create an overwhelming and magnificent effect completed by the luxurious furnishing. In the rooms overlooking the square, destined to official ceremonies, the fresco and stucco decoration of the ceilings, created by the great baroque artist Pietro da Cortona, recalls the splendour of the Medici court during the Seicento.

The first rooms house great masterpieces of  the Neoclassical period and of its great sculptor Antonio Canova, followed by important expressions of the  Romantic age of the Ottocento,  the paintings by Hayez and Bezzuoli. The heart of the Gallery displays the collection of small picture, masterpieces by the Macchiaioli, Fattori, Lega, Borrani the revolutionary young artists who used to gather in Florence around the mid 19th century. The turn of the century is marked by members of new movements, the Post Macchiaioli Gioli and Ferroni,  the Italian pointillists Nomellini and Previati, the Symbolist Kienerk, up to the artworks displayed at the ‘Primaverile’ in 1922: this important exhibit showed  the trend of Florentine art of the beginning of the Novecento, looking back at the examples of great Italian art of the past.

The Royal Apartments in Palazzo Pitti

On the first floor of the south wing of Palazzo Pitti are the Royal Apartments, a sumptuous complex of imposing rooms fit to receive kings and queens. The apartments are richly decorated with frescoes by various famous artists and were furnished by the Medici, and later added to, and rearranged by the royal famiglie who succeded them; first the House of Lorraine and then the House of Savoy. The first successor to the Medici completely renovated the rooms in the neo-classic style and added new furniture and works of art.

The rooms of note are: the Red Throne Room with Lorraine and Savoyard furniture and large Chinese and Japanese vases, the Parrot Room so called for the birds depicted in the precious tapestries, but which are in fact pheasants, the Queen Margherita Apartments with the tapestry made by Gobelins of Paris, representing the HUnts of Louis XV, the Tapestry Apartment frescoed by Alessandro Allori, and the Rooms of Charity, Prudence, Hope and Temperance.
