Looking for ideas for the weekend in Florence?
I highly recommend visiting the Alphonse Mucha exhibition at the Museo degli Innocenti. And if you can't make it, you have time until April 2024!
Who was Alphonse Mucha? Surely you have already heard his name.
Mucha was born in the Czech Republic in 1860 and died in 1939 a few months after the outbreak of war.
A skilled draftsman, he studied in Vienna, Munich and Paris and found his first successes with lithographs for theater productions featuring the beautiful Sarah Bernhardt. She was his first Muse.
During his artistic career he devoted himself to posters, advertisements, jewelry, objects, photos, lithographs, paintings and much more.
He developed his own style with sensual models, floral designs, folk motifs, light colors and linear, specular decorations.
This style would later be called Art Nouveau and become popular throughout Europe. Art must be accessible and clear to everyone according to Mucha.
The exhibition traces Mucha's life chronologically with posters, photographs, objects, video installations and offers a comprehensive look at the artist's interests.
Also on his passion for symbolism, occultism and membership of Freemasonry.
It is an exhibition that will appeal to many and for those who wish to delve deeper, it offers many insights.
Also on display are various objects by Galileo Chini, one of the best known representatives of Art Nouveau in Italy.
The light is right, the information is clear, the setting admirable. I would really recommend this wonderful exhibition.

Il capolavoro di Benozzo Gozzoli, la Cappella dei Magi, eseguita negli anni 1459-1464 per il palazzo Medici a Firenze.
Fino al 10 marzo è possibile visitare anche una piccola mostra con qualche informazione sul pittore e alcune delle sue opere.
Bisogna andare fuori dagli orari di punta perché la cappella è molto piccola e fanno entrare max 5/6 persone per volta.

Today I show you the church of Santa Maria del Carmine in the Oltrarno district.
It's famous for housing the outstanding Renaissance frescoes in the Brancacci Chapel painted by Masaccio and Masolino da Panicale.
But you can enter the church freely to admire amazing ceiling decorations.
The Corsini Chapel is a reel barrocco pearl!
The church displays some interesting paintings (Vasari, Poccetti, Butteri) and its facade was never completed.

Ecco una mostra curiosa che ho visto ieri e senza pianificare.
Bello girare anche a caso e farsi guidare dall'ispirazione del momento. 😍
La mostra si chiama "Natura collecta, Natura exhibita" ed è stata riaperta a luglio nella cripta della chiesa di San Lorenzo a Firenze.
Sono esposti, come vedete nel piccolo collage, degli oggetti veramente curiosi: artefatti collezionati dalla famiglia Medici, gli erbari, le pitture di Bimbi con la frutta e verdura, i modelli anatomici di cera, minerali, animali esotici etcetera etcetera.
Tutto accompagnato dalle date degli eventi scientifici importanti in Toscana e nel mondo e di un video con la storia del collezionismo naturalistico a Firenze. 🌿
Credo che questa mostra possa piacere molto ai bambini. 🧒
Approfittatene e visitate insieme la bella chiesa di San Lorenzo.
