A lecture by Alan Pascuzzi
Many of the paintings and sculptures seen in Florentine museums like the Uffizi or the Bargello originally adorned churches, palaces and public spaces - part of the original 'artistic fabric' of the city integrated into the daily life of the Florentines. Over the centuries, these works have been taken from their original location and put in a museum setting, causing them to lose the intended spiritual, political and aesthetic connection between artist, work of art and viewer.
This talk is the fourth in a series where Alan Pascuzzi, a fine art historian and working artist, attempts to recreate how famous works of Renaissance art looked in their original locations and bring back to life their original message by showing them 'how they were seen.'
