Florence, Italy 🇮🇹 in 5 days. Phew! Haven’t been in Italy 🇮🇹 since I was an art abroad student at RISD many years ago. Wow, I was surprised of how it has not changed and also changed in so many ways. I can’t wait to visit again maybe next time not in August during a long heat wave! ☀️ #uffizigallery #renaissanceart #firenze #italia #streetart #streetartist #chalk #graffiti #leonardodavinci #pastel #thedavid #michelangelo #michelangelodavid #artlover #galleriaaccademiafirenze #foodporn #italianfood #pizza #aperolspritz #aperitivo #putti #angels #italytravels

Putti galore at the @uffizigalleries in Florence, Italy. They attracted me as a student studying abroad many years ago and they still do. 👼 (my daughter’s middle name is Angelina.) Putti are chubby, naked, and sometimes winged male children that appear frequently in #Renaissance art. The word “putto” comes from the Latin word putus, which means “boy”. #Putti are often depicted as playful, dreamy, or removed from context, and are more like ornaments than symbols. #cupid #angels #renaissanceart #uffizi #uffizigallery #florence #firenze #putto

Honestly, this is just a fraction of what I could post on the Uffizzi Gallery in Florence, Italy. 🇮🇹 🖼️ The world’s most popular galleries, the Uffizi is home to the likes of Bottocelli’s The Birth of Venus, Caravaggio’s Medusa and da Vinci’s Annunciation. #birthofvenus #Botticelli #uffizigallery #michelangelobuonarroti #Leonardodavinci #annunciation #michelangelo #caravaggio #florence #firenze #medusa #italyart #pierodellafrancesca #uffizi #themasters #renaissance
