Diamanti rubini e smeraldi. Il linguaggio dei gioielli nei dipinti degli Uffizi

by Malaguzzi Silvia
Diamanti rubini e smeraldi. Il linguaggio dei gioielli nei dipinti degli Uffizi

From Artemisia Gentileschi to Goya, from Botticelli to Titian via Giotto and many others… An unprecedented survey of the language of jewellery in painting, conducted through a rich selection of works from the 15th to the 18thcentury, housed in the Uffizi Galleries and beyond. The gems depicted in the portraits recall the values of the protagonists through elegant symbolism, and the jewellery (always documented) shows an execution that can betraced back to precise places and environments, so much so that it closely connects with the identity of the wearer.
