The aim of this audio guide is to make the Renaissance art and architecture of Florence accessible, entertaining and intriguing to every visitor to the city.
Your guide is Robert Orme, a gifted, engaging, highly experienced teacher of art history and winner of The Tatler School Awards 2014 Lifetime Achievement award.
With such an abundance of wonderful art on offer, you run a real risk of visual overload, of tiring before you have explored more than the first few rooms of a gallery.
What this audio guide does is focus on carefully selected highlights that explain the development of Renaissance art and architecture so, in Florence‘s major gallery the Uffizi, for example, Robert focuses on only 18 paintings from Giotto through Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael to Titian.
Onscreen illustrations enable you easily to locate the key works.
Robert guides you through ten major art and architecture locations in the city and instead of having to purchase separate guides at each location, you have Robert in your pocket, selecting highlights and putting them into context of the other art you have seen.
