Florence's Uffizi Gallery holds 3 works by Rembrandt (1606–1669) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Rembrandt's handling of light and shadow is the great achievement of Northern European painting, and it is above all a physical achievement — thick impasto highlights built up from layers of glaze, darkness that seems to breathe. Standing in front of a major Rembrandt self-portrait is one of the defining experiences of looking at Western art.

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.
