On view at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) is the exhibition “Botticelli and Renaissance Florence: Masterworks from the Uffizi.”

It features more than 45 paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, decorative artworks, and even ancient Roman marbles that rarely leave Florence’s famous museum, let alone Italy.

The stars are a dozen works by Sandro Botticelli, making this the largest show on him ever mounted in the U.S. His genius is contextualized through masterworks by such peers as Fra Filippo Lippi, Ghirlandaio, Perugino, and Signorelli.

All are presented alongside pieces from Mia’s own collection.
