At the entrance to the world art galleries is this large sculpture. Wagon I dates to 1963-64, and is by the American artist David Smith.
In we go. A lot of early art is religious in nature, since that's where the money was, after all. This is Triptych Of The Virgin And Child Enthroned With Saints, circa 1370-80, by Jacopo Di Cione.
The Virgin And Child With Saints dates circa 1476-77, by Benozzo Gozzoli.
Saint Anne And The Infant Virgin is by Ugolino Di Nerio, dating circa 1330-35.
Here we have The Assumption Of The Virgin, an altarpiece by Neri Di Bicci, circa 1455-56.
This pair of candlesticks dates back to 1575-1600.
Wow mind boggling
