FLORENCE, ART IN
FLORENCE, ART IN.
Art in Florence during the period from 1450 to 1789 marked the transition from Florence as the birthplace of Renaissance art in Europe during the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries to the peak of Florence's importance during the secon
d half of the fifteenth century and its gradual loss of artistic status to Rome and Venice in the sixteenth century. Florence under the Medici grand dukes during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries served as the prototype for the emergence of artistic courts such as Versailles, but it became increasingly a destination for art tourists rather than a center of artistic creativity.
