Galleria Palatina
Galleria Palatina, Art museum in Pitti Palace, Florence, Italy.
Galleria Palatina is an art museum in Palazzo Pitti, Florence, Italy, displaying more than 500 Renaissance and Baroque paintings. The works hang along the first floor walls in a sequence of grand halls with richly decorated ceilings.
The collection began with the Medici and was expanded by the Habsburgs who occupied the palace in the 18th century. The museum opened its doors to the public in 1828, revealing one of the most important princely collections in Europe.
The rooms still bear planet names that once governed each space, and paintings hang in multiple dense rows, one above the other. This presentation follows the courtly tradition where the abundance of works was meant to show the wealth of collectors.
Access is available Tuesday through Sunday from 8:15 am to 6:30 pm, and all exhibition rooms are wheelchair accessible. The rooms can get warm during your visit, especially in summer, so it helps to bring water.
Raphael is represented here with eleven paintings, the largest concentration of his works in a single location worldwide. Pietro da Cortona created the allegorical frescoes of the Planet Rooms between 1640 and 1647, floating above the wall paintings.
