We recently had the extraordinary opportunity to visit the Galleria Palatina, located inside the magnificent Palazzo Pitti in Florence.

From the very first moment, this gallery envelops you in a world of opulence, refinement, and breathtaking beauty. The rooms themselves are a work of art – lavishly decorated with frescoed ceilings, gilded stucco, and antique furnishings that reflect the grandeur of Renaissance and Baroque taste. Each hall feels like a royal chamber, transporting you into the elegant world of the Medici and Lorraine dynasties.

The collection is a true feast for the eyes. Masterpieces by Raphael, Titian, Rubens, and Caravaggio hang frame to frame in the traditional 19th-century style, covering the walls from floor to ceiling. It's overwhelming in the best way – an abundance of artistic brilliance that invites you to slow down and take in every detail.

One of the most striking things about the Galleria Palatina is how it seamlessly blends art and atmosphere. You’re not just looking at paintings – you’re standing in the very rooms where the powerful once lived, ruled, and admired these works themselves. That sense of continuity, of being surrounded by centuries of history, is truly moving.

Allow yourself plenty of time – this is not a gallery to rush through. Every room deserves attention, every painting tells a story.

Getting out, you feel like you have just been hit by a brick. This is due to the immense load of information, paintings and impressions you get inside the Palatine Gallery. Packed to the brim with both irrelevant and absolutely stunning artwork, the visit inside has a very many highs and lows. On the one hand, there are big artworks from the likes of Raffael, Tician, Rubens and Van Dyck in the gallery, on the other hand, you cannot appreciate most of the paintings, since they are barely lit and hung too high up. Because of that, you can only enjoy the rooms as ensembles, which is not the point of an art gallery. Inside, the gallery lacks seating areas for quick rests, which are required, since the air inside is so bad, that you get tired after quite a short while.

Is the collection incredible and interesting? - Yes. Should most of the irrelevant stuff be put into storage and the museum reorganized? - Absoultely, it is currently a desaster. Is a visit recommended? - Yes, but it will be not that good of a visit compared to the...

Tra le opere esposte nella Palatina c'è " La Pietà di Luco " di Andrea Del Sarto . "Pietà di Luco" è un dipinto olio su tavola di Andrea Del Sarto, databile al 1523-1524 e conservato appunto nella Galleria Palatina di Firenze. La cromia della “Pietà di Luco” è tornata a risplendere nella Sala di Apollo della Galleria Palatina, dopo il restauro condotto a cura dell’ Opificio delle Pietre Dure . Capolavoro di Andrea del Sarto “il pittore senza errori” che la eseguì tra il 1523 e il 1524. La maestosa tavola è stata ricollocata in quella che è la sua sede dal 1815, entro la cornice barocca di metà Seicento in cui la volle il Gran Principe Ferdinando. Giorgio Vasari, nelle Vite, ci informa sulle circostanze della commissione : per sfuggire alla peste che dilagava in città, Andrea si trasferì, grazie all'aiuto dell'amico Antonio Brancacci, con la famiglia, a Luco di Mugello, presso le monache camaldolesi. Ricevette così la commissione dell'opera dalla Badessa del monastero, Caterina di Tedaldo della Casa (ritratta nel dipinto come Santa Caterina d'Alessandria) per porla sull'altar maggiore della chiesa. L'opera dovette essere finita nell'ottobre del 1524 quando il suo autore fu pagato 80 fiorini. Fu probabilmente collocata al suo posto solo nel 1527 data riportata sul retro dell'altare (Padovani, 1986). In loco esiste una copia realizzata da Santo Pacini nel 1783, dal momento che Pietro Leopoldo acquistò la tavola per 2400 scudi. Nel 1795 l'opera fu trasferita a Pitti dietro suggerimento del direttore degli Uffiizi, il Puccini, in cambio della "Madonna delle Arpie". Da allora è rimasta in tale collocazione, tranne che per il periodo napoleonico (1799-1815) L’opera deve quindi il nome con cui è comunemente nota, al monastero camaldolese di San Pietro a Luco del Mugello, dove il pittore fu accolto amorevolmente dalle monache, tanto che, racconta Vasari “si pose a lavorare con grandissimo amore”. Secondo lo storico aretino, la pala gli fu commissionata dalla badessa, la nobile fiorentina Caterina di Tedaldo...

The museum is unique in that it doesn't organize artworks by period or artist. Instead, it preserves the original decorative style of the palace, with paintings densely arranged on the walls, as they would have been historically. The gallery consists of 28 rooms, each named according to its ceiling fresco and thematic focus, often symbolizing the Medici family's virtues and power. It houses an extensive collection of Renaissance and Baroque masterpieces amassed by the Medici and their successors. Highlights include works by Raphael, Titian, and Caravaggio. ※ Included in the single ticket for Palazzo Pitti collections.

What a great collection in a beautiful Palace. Where can you find a Tiziano, Rubens, Velazquez and Van Dyck in one room and 9 out of 10 people playing by without even noticing them. The collection just hand on the wall or stand in a room without a curator making fancy changes. The artwork van just be, and it should stay like this for ever. One tip: stop and look at the marble top tables. Never seen so many and so diverse at one place.
