In 1560, on orders from Cosimo I de 'Medici, the architect Giorgio Vasari, began work on the grandiose Uffizi Palace, which was intended to hold the offices of thirteen merchants and magistrates. The last floor of the building, completed in 1580, was for the Medici's art collections. The Uffizi remains home to famous masterpieces of painting, exhibited in chronological order,
From Cimabue's Romanesque painting to the Gothic revolution and the lavishly decorated late Gothic art of Gentile da Fabriano. The innovations of the Renaissance are seen in art by Masaccio, Paolo Uccello, Piero della Francesca, and Filippo Lippi. Florence's great era, spearheaded by Lorenzo Il Magnifico, is shown in Sandro Botticelli's masterpieces: the Birth of Venus and the Allegory of Spring. The exhibition continues with the paintings of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo's only documented painting, the renowned Tondo Doni and next famous works by Raphael and Titian.
