Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour in English: itinerary details

Our Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour in English starts with the east corridor on the second floor. The ancient sculptures arranged along the corridor depict the busts of the most famous Roman emperors, placed opposite the statues of their consorts. On the walls are exposed two series of paintings, those of smaller size form the so-called Giovo Series, and representing the illustrious characters of the past; the biggest ones make up the Aulica Series, in which the members of the Medici family are portrayed.

So we enter the first room of our Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour in English: the Sala delle Maestà. Here, there are three magnificent altarpieces. On the left stands the Rucellai Madonna painted in 1285 by Duccio di Buoninsegna, on the right Cimabue with the Santa Trinità Maestà built in 1280, in the centre the room the Madonna Enthroned (also known as Ognissanti Madonna) one of the most famous masterpieces of Giotto 1300s.

The visit continues in Room 3 where we can admire the Annunciation by Simone Martini, one of the most important examples of Sienese Gothic painting, in which it is possible to perceive a hint of perspective in the pavement drawing.

Room number 7 opens us to the International Gothic; the most important work of this period is the Adoration of the Magi, by Gentile da Fabriano.

We continue our Uffizi Gallery Guided Tour in English and we enter the room dedicated to Filippo Lippi. This artist was certainly one of the most important of the XVth century. The work that most stands out for its beauty is undoubtedly The Madonna with Child and Angels; this painting, which hides a romantic story, was the most important also for the artistic life of another painter who was a pupil of Filippo Lippi: Botticelli.

We continue our visit by dwelling in the rooms where Botticelli's works are exhibited: Primavera, the Birth of Venus, Pallas and the Centaur, the Calumny of Apelles, the Cestello Annunciation.

We now move to Room number 15, dedicated to the priceless masterpieces of Leonardo da Vinci. From the Adoration of the Magi to the Baptism of Christ is tangible the immense creativity, skill and passion of a man who has left us incredible masterpieces and mysteries that perhaps we will never be able to solve. In his paintings, from the Adoration of the Magi to the Baptism of Christ, we experience the immense creativity, skill and passion of a man who has left us incredible masterpieces and mysteries that perhaps we will never be able to solve.

It is now time to look back into Room 35. Here is the only painting by Michelangelo present in Florence: the Doni Tondo. Probably painted for the Doni-Strozzi spouses, the scene represented by Buonarroti is full of novelties and will ensure this extraordinary artist a place among the inspirers of Mannerism.
