3 works across 1 institution
Florence's Uffizi Gallery holds 3 works by Caravaggio (1571–1610) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Caravaggio's dramatic chiaroscuro — figures emerging from deep shadow, lit as if by a single candle — is an effect that depends on scale, and his canvases are large. Standing in front of a major Caravaggio in Rome feels like an encounter rather than merely a viewing.

Planning your visit to Florence
The Uffizi is one of the most visited museums in the world — pre-book online at least two weeks in advance, particularly between March and October. The Accademia, home to Michelangelo's David, also fills up fast and should be pre-booked. Florence's major museums are compact and central, making it easy to visit several in a single day.
