Description

Enjoy a private guided tour of the Palatine Gallery and the Royal Apartments, with the private art collection of the Medici family inside their last sumptuous residence. The Gallery was opened to the public by the House of Lorraine in 1828, and it still preserves the typical layout of a private collection, with a sumptuous combination of lavish interior decoration and the original rich picture frames. One of the most significant groups of works of the collection is formed by the works of Titian and Raphael, with famous paintings such as the Portrait of a gentleman and Magdalene by Titian and the Madonna of the Grand Duke, the Madonna of the Chair and the portrait of Maddalena Doni by Raphael. The Gallery also houses some impressive works by European artists, like Van Dyke's Cardinal Bentivoglio, and Rubens' The four Philosophers and The Allegory of war. All these paintings are not arranged in chronological order but based on the personal esthetic taste of the inhabitants of the palace, which helps give the Gallery its own unique charm and lavishness. After the visit to the Palatine Gallery, you will also have a chance to visit Boboli Gardens, the most famous renaissance gardens in Florence.
