\"\"<\/a>Long recognized as one of the most prominent artists of Italy, the work of Michelangelo Buonarotti is found throughout Tuscany and predominately in Florence. Michelangelo was born in Tuscany and true to his roots; he was raised in Tuscany and stayed true to his roots by working in the area and helping the city collect a regular treasure trove of amazing art pieces.<\/p>\n

Florence and Michelangelo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today you can see a huge assortment of items from Michelangelo during your visit to Florence and the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

Galleria dell\u2019Accademia<\/em><\/p>\n

Inside the gallery, you\u2019ll find the original David sculpture, which is considered to be one of the most impressive works of art by Michelangelo. While the original stands inside the Galleria dell\u2019Accademia, you can find impressive copies of the statue in front of the Pallazzo Vecchio, where the original once stood, as well as in the center of Piazzale Michelangelo, a picturesque square named for the work of the artist. While inside the gallery, you can also see \u201cThe Four Prisoners\u201d and a statue of Saint Matthew designed by Michelangelo.<\/p>\n

Museo Nazionale del Bargello<\/em><\/p>\n

In the impressive museum for sculpture, you\u2019ll find a nice assortment of Michelangelo\u2019s sculptures as well. One of these is the Roman god of wine, Bacchus, decorated with grape vines and holding up a chalice. Another version of David, the \u201cDavid Apollo\u201d is found in the museum as well as a relief sculpture of the Virgin Mary and Jesus and a bust of Brutus. While just four of a great many statues inside the museum, they are certainly an impressive few.<\/p>\n

Museo dell\u2019Opera del Duomo<\/em><\/p>\n

In the Museum of the Duomo, you can expect to find many prized treasures of the Renaissance, and among them is another sculpture by Michelangelo. The statue, The Deposition, shows Christ following his death being held by the Virgin Mary, Mary Magdalene and Nicodemus. There is a more famous Pieta, by Michelangelo, but that statue is located and on display in Rome.<\/p>\n

Casa Buonarotti<\/em><\/p>\n

In Michelangelo\u2019s home, a small museum holds several sculptures by the master as well as some drawings. Two of Michelangelo\u2019s early relief sculptures are present in the home, the Battle of the Centaurs and the Madonna of the Stairs.<\/p>\n

Palazzo Vecchio<\/em><\/p>\n

Finally, in the City Hall of Florence, Michelangelo\u2019s sculpture, \u201cThe Genius of Victory\u201d is found. There should be another work by Michelangelo in this building, the \u201cBattle of Cascina\u201d, but the painting was either never started or have been lost through the ages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
