What is the “Deposition”? Or “the Visitation”? And what is “Limbo”? Or “the Dormition”?
Do you know the biblical stories, or do you want to learn more about them?
Almost from the beginning, the Church has employed the arts as a potent means of instruction and edification.
Most of the art in Florence is Christian Art, so to learn about the symbolic representation of the biblical stories, also called “Christian iconography”, is both very interesting and very helpful when touring the stunning museums and churches in Florence
We will look into this theme on this tour, which takes 3 hours and will take you into two museums, the Convent of San Marco and the Last Supper by Andrea del Castagno.
