Uffizi Gallery

It has been about three months since my Study Abroad trip.  It was a short trip, but so full of sights, food, friends, and fun.  I posted earlier about Duomo & Gelato but that was only one of my adventures!

The Uffizi Gallery has amazing masterpieces on display.  Madonna and Child, Primavera, Birth of Venus, and many many others!  My personal favorite was "Massacre of the Innocents," I am not a morbid person, I just liked the colors and the activity in this painting!  This is a touched up version of what it looks like.

Massacre of the Innocents by Marco Benefial

Looking at a reprint is never the same as seeing it in person, but it does give you some idea of the painting.  You are not allowed to take pictures of the painting, but you can by prints in the gift shop.  They are not as strict as the Vatican with people who take pictures, but it could also depend on the security guard.

An amazing book that has pictures of the most popular painting is Uffizi Gallery: the official guide; all of the works by Gloria Fossi.  I look through it and remember seeing those painting and it make me want to go back!  Maybe someday I will!
