The Divine Knight Statue

Instead of heading to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, I visited this less - crowded art museum, which I'd call the most worthwhile in Florence.😍😍 The layout of the space is ingenious and labyrinth - like, making full use of each floor. As you wander around, you'll stumble upon new artworks and surprises. The open platforms and spacious areas give a sense of relief and freedom. Even the larger - scale sculptures fit perfectly into the space without feeling cramped.😊😊😊 The Museo Marino Marini permanently houses the works of artist Marino Marini, including oil paintings, prints, and sculptures arranged chronologically to form a timeline of his career. Marini was skilled in creating sculptures with bronze. His early works exude a classical and divine aura, solemn and powerful, with a distinct Florentine academic style.🪷🪷🪷 The artist's style changed significantly after World War II. His sculptures of knights, with their slender limbs and grotesque poses, combined with the unique texture of metal, convey a dark and avant - garde atmosphere. I visited on a Sunday, which is the museum's free - admission day. There were also stalls from art publishers on the ground floor. I spent two hours here and still didn't want to leave.
