Text of the page (random words):
grand and gilded are more suited to day to day living requirements period furnishings include four poster beds and other necessary furnishings not found elsewhere in the palazzo the kings of italy last used the palazzo pitti in the 1920s 22 by that time it had already been converted to a museum but a suite of rooms in the meridian wing now the gallery of modern art was reserved for them when visiting florence officially gallery of modern art edit this gallery originates from the remodeling of the florentine academy in 1748 when a gallery of modern art was established 23 the gallery was intended to hold those art works which were prize winners in the academy s competitions the palazzo pitti was being redecorated on a grand scale at this time and the new works of art were being collected to adorn the newly decorated salons by the mid 19th century so numerous were the modern paintings in the grand ducal collection that many were transferred to the palazzo della crocetta it which became the first home of the newly formed modern art museum following the risorgimento and the expulsion of the grand ducal family from the palazzo all the grand ducal modern artworks were brought together under one roof in the newly titled modern gallery of the academy 23 the collection continued to expand particularly so under the patronage of victor emmanuel ii however it was not until 1922 that this gallery was moved to the palazzo pitti where it was complemented by further modern works of art in the ownership of both the state and the municipality of florence the collection was housed in apartments recently vacated by members of the italian royal family 24 the gallery was first opened to the public in 1928 today further enlarged and spread over 30 rooms this large collection includes works by artists of the macchiaioli movement and other modern italian schools of the late 19th and early 20th centuries 25 the pictures by the macchiaioli are of particular note as this school of 19th century tuscan painters led by giovanni fattori were early pioneers and the founders of the impressionist movement 26 the title gallery of modern art to some may sound incorrect as the art in the gallery covers the period from the 18th to the early 20th centuries no examples of later art are included in the collection since in italy modern art refers to the period before world war ii what has followed is generally known as contemporary art arte contemporanea in tuscany this art can be found at the centro per l arte contemporanea luigi pecci at prato a city about 15 km 9 mi from florence antonio ciseri ecce homo c 1860 1880 giovanni fattori mary stuart at crookstone 1861 treasury of the grand dukes edit the treasury of the grand dukes tesoro dei granduchi formerly called the silver museum museo degli argenti contains a collection of priceless silverware ivory objects jewelry cameos and works in semi precious gemstones many of the latter from the collection of lorenzo de medici including his collection of ancient vases many with delicate silver gilt mounts added for display purposes in the 15th century a room displays curiosities from the world collected by the medici including a rare pre columbian jade mask and two atlatl donated to pope leo x these rooms formerly part of the private royal apartments are decorated with 17th century frescoes the most splendid being by giovanni da san giovanni from 1635 to 1636 the treasury also contains a fine collection of german gold and silver artefacts purchased by grand duke ferdinand iii after his return from exile in 1815 following the french occupation 27 porcelain museum edit main article museo delle porcellane the casino del cavaliere in the boboli gardens now houses the porcelain museum first opened in 1973 this museum is housed in the casino del cavaliere in the boboli gardens 28 the porcelain is from many of the most notable european porcelain factories with sèvres porcelain and meissen porcelain being well represented many items in the collection were gifts to the florentine rulers from other european sovereigns while other works were specially commissioned by the grand ducal court of particular note are several large dinner services by the vincennes factory later renamed sèvres and a collection of small biscuit figurines costume gallery edit situated in a wing known as the palazzina della meridiana it this gallery contains a collection of drresses and theatrical costumes dating from the 16th century until the present it is also the only museum in italy detailing the history of italian fashions 29 one of the newer collections to the palazzo it was founded in 1983 by kirsten aschengreen piacenti a suite of fourteen rooms the meridiana apartments were completed in 1858 30 in addition to theatrical costumes the gallery displays garments worn between the 18th century and the present day some of the exhibits are unique to the palazzo pitti these include the 16th century funeral clothes of grand duke cosimo i de medici and his wife eleonora of toledo and their son garzia both of whom died of malaria their bodies would have been displayed in state wearing their finest clothes before being reclad in plainer attire before interment the gallery also exhibits a collection of mid 20th century costume jewellery the sala meridiana originally sponsored a functional solar meridian instrument built into the fresco decoration by anton domenico gabbiani carriages museum edit this ground floor museum exhibits half a dozen of carriages and other conveyances used by the grand ducal court mainly in the late 18th and 19th century the extent of the exhibition prompted one visitor in the 19th century to wonder in the name of all that is extraordinary how can they find room for all these carriages and horses 31 some of the carriages are highly decorative being adorned not only by gilt but by painted landscapes on their panels those used on the grandest
