Palazzo Pitti - Galleria D’Arte Moderna

The thirty rooms of the Gallery of Modern Art, created by Grand Duke of Tuscany Pietro Leopoldo Lorena on the second floor of the Pitti Palace, offer an overview of 19th and 20th century painting, including works by the Macchiaioli del Caffè Michelangelo group in via Cavour. Works range from the Neo-classicism of Pompeo Batoni, Pietro Benvenuti and Antonio Canova, to the Romanticism of Francesco Hayez, as well as French art. There are also numerous artworks celebrating the Risorgimento, told through ancient history by Giuseppe Bezzuoli, or the war as recounted by Giuseppe Fattori.
