There is a great artist to whom I have not yet dedicated proper space in this blog and now the time has come to dedicate a post to the life of Marcel Duchamp. Born in 1887 in Blainville-Crevon, Duchamp was a multifaceted artist, capable of completely revolutionising the art world through his creative genius. In this post, I tell you about his life and his contribution to the conception of art, focusing in particular on his revolutionary ready-made technique and conceptual art.
Tourists from all over the world visit Florence every year for the works of art in its museums and its many churches with their characteristic façades. Especially in fine weather, however, the city on the Arno offers the opportunity to enjoy its views and also many artistic masterpieces in the open air in its many gardens: the Boboli Garden is certainly the most famous, to which are added the Rose Garden, with sculptures by Jean Michel Folon, and the Iris Garden, both near Piazzale Michelangelo. Botany enthusiasts will find the Giardino dei Semplici and the Orti Dipinti community garden, while cinema lovers at the Giardino dell’Orticoltura will retrace the steps of some scenes from ‘Amici miei – II atto’ by Mario Monicelli (1982) and ‘Sotto una buona stella’ by Carlo Verdone (2014).
Among the things to see in Florence is the magnificent artistic heritage of the Baptistery. In this post I want to focus on the three Doors of the Baptistery of Florence, which hold the history of Italian sculpture, from the medieval period to Humanism. I will accompany you to discover their stories.
