1 work across 1 institution
Florence's Uffizi Gallery holds 1 work by Diego Velázquez (1599–1660) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Velázquez is the painter's painter — admired above all others by Manet, Sargent, and Francis Bacon — and seeing his work reveals why. His handling of paint is miraculous: up close, loose fluid passages of colour; at viewing distance, the most convincing figures in the history of painting.

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.
