A TRIBUTE TO THE GRAND DUKE
Tesoro dei Granduchi di Palazzo Pitti, Florence, till 5 November 2017
With this exhibition the Gallerie degli Uffizi sets out to shed light on a little known yet nonetheless fascinating episode in the history of silverworking in Italy between the 17th and 18th centuries – an episode occasioned by the feast of St. John the Baptist, which has been solemnly celebrated in Florence every year on 24 June since the city’s earliest days, and by the diplomatic relations of the House of Medici which extended its influence over the Roman Curia. These circumstances permitted the Medici to enrich their collections with an outstanding group of historiated silver plates, or ewers, produced to designs by some of the leading artists working in Rome at the time.
