I joined this virtual tour of the world-famous Uffizi Gallery in Florence this evening. It is the oldest collection of artworks in the world and was founded in 1581 from a collection from the powerful Medici banking family. This virtual tour only had time in the hour or so allotted to it to look at the key works by the renaissance masters such as Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Caravaggio and Raphael and includes classical myths and depictions of the Christian story. Below are just a few photographs that I took of the paintings, plus some of the building itself and of Florence seen from the gallery windows.
