Guided Gallery Art Tour in Accademia of Florence
Overview
Step into the artistic fervor of the Accademia Gallery in Florence, where every step is a vibrant journey through the centuries. Founded in 1784 by Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo as part of the fine arts academy, this gallery is more than a collection; it is a living testament to the genius that permeates history.
Initially a home for Giambologna's gypsum models, the Accademia evolved to house an impressive collection of original and replicated works, further enriched by Gothic and Renaissance paintings sourced from deactivated churches and convents.
The year 1873 marked a crucial turning point when the decision to relocate Michelangelo's iconic statue, David, was made due to safety concerns in Signoria Square. Since then, the gallery has become not just a museum but an unofficial sanctuary dedicated to Michelangelo, housing other masterpieces such as the Prisoners, St. Matthew, and the Pietà.
