Florence Art Workshop
The artistic revolution that took place in Italy between the 14th and 17th centuries established a completely new approach to the figurative arts with the introduction of the humanistic ideals, perspective, anatomy and rediscovery of Classic art.
The Figure Drawing sessions offered during the workshops will permit us to study and practice the approach to the depiction of the human figure defined during the Italian Renaissance, a method that has been the core of the artistic training in Western Art Academies until the Modernist Revolution.
The Plen Air Watercolor sessions will give us occasion to appreciate a variety of Countryside Landscapes and urban views spanning from Roman Antiquities to Renaissance and Baroque Architecture.
The Museum Visits will focus expecially on the more iconic works of Roman Antiquity, Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque periods with particuar focus on artists like Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raffaello, Titian, Bernini but also many other less known great artists.
