3 works across 1 institution
Florence's Uffizi Gallery holds 3 works by El Greco (1541–1614) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
El Greco's elongated ecstatic figures and extraordinary colour sense were so distinctive that later centuries dismissed him as eccentric; now he is recognised as one of the great originals of Western art. His paintings have an almost electric intensity in person that reproduction consistently fails to convey.

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.
