It's an absolute art lovers dream, particularly if you are studying Renaissance and Italian masters, sculpture and more.
Rather than taking pictures of the countless Madonna and Child variations, I thought I would focus on the ways that the artist incorporated embroidery into their work. I saw a few samples on embroidery in the museums but didn't get a chance to go to the costume museum in Florence.....maybe during my next visit. So here are some pictures you might enjoy, in no particular order...
