Offering of the Angels: Old Master Paintings and Tapestries from the Uffizi Gallery
South Floridians will be the first in the nation to view an extraordinary exhibition - Offering of the Angels: Old Master Paintings and Tapestries from the Uffizi Gallery,
November 19, 2011-April 8, 2012, at the Museum of Art|Fort Lauderdale
Nova Southeastern University. The Uffizi houses one of the world's
greatest collections of paintings and tapestries, many of which were
originally commissioned by members of the Medici family.
Executive Director of the Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale Irvin Lippman says, "Offering of the Angels
brings to the Museum of Art and to South Florida a wealth of old master
paintings and tapestries that are rarely, if ever, seen in this region.
We welcome the generosity of the Uffizi Gallery in allowing these
treasures to travel here. These works of art reflect, in their fullest
expression, the high points of artistic achievement of Western
civilization."
I'm embarrassed to say I have not been to this show yet. I have heard great things about it and plan to go before the show closes in early April. GL
