The Accademia Gallery is best known for the statue of David which was created by a young Michelangelo. The artist sculpted the statue from a large block of marble over the course of three years, and he gradually transformed the rough material into a smooth and pristine work of art. It was originally commissioned to stand on the roofline of the Florence Cathedral, and has been housed in the Accademia Gallery since 1873, standing at more than five metres tall. Depicting the Biblical hero David was a favoured subject matter among Florence artists – and Michelangelo’s statue has become an icon of the Renaissance ideal. It is widely seen to represent the influence of the Republic of Florence when it was at its most powerful.

As well as David and some of Michelangelo’s other works, your guide will also introduce you to other great Florentine paintings from the likes of Sandro Botticelli, Giambologna, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Andrea del Sarto and Paolo Uccello.
