The East Gallery - Rooms 8 to 14
[ Artists represented: Lippi (Rm 8); Pollaiolo (Rm 9); Botticelli (Rms 10-14) ]
Exploring the Gallery
Room 8 is devoted to Filippo Lippi, his Madonna and Child with Two Angels (circa 1460) the best known of the 11 works on show here. Room 9 contains works by Antonio del Pollaiolo and his brother Piero, along with the first works of Sandro Botticelli – The Return of Judith and The Discovery of the Murder of Holophernes (probably created together around 1472 as a gift for Bianco Cappello, the second wife of Francesco I). Botticelli also claims the four following rooms where his famous mythological creations, Allegory of Spring (1478), Birth of Venus (around 1485) and Pallas and the Centaur (1480), can be seen.
