FLORENCE:
A PORTRAIT
By Michael Levey


Florence isn't just about Florentine art, but as Bruce Boucher wrote in the Times Literary Supplement, "As a distinguished art historian and former Director of the National Gallery, [Levey] has the right sort of familiarity with Florentine art to lend authority to his observations." To read Michael Levey's words on some of Florence's more famous works of art and architecture, select from the following excerpts:

	On Brunelleschi's Cupola of the Duomo
	On Brunelleschi's Interior of the Pazzi Chapel, Santa Croce
	On Cellini's Bust of Duke Cosimo I de' Medici
	On Cellini's Perseus
	On Donatello's (?) Bust of Niccolò da Uzzano
