A new and very exciting exhibition is taking place in Florence these days. "Americans in Florence" had its opening date on the 3rd of March and will be going on until the 15th of July. It's illustrating the strong bond between the "Old World" and the "New Continent" that has been existing for centuries, also in terms of an artistic exchange. Many american painters came to Europe to study the Old Masters and visit the Academies. Vice versa they brought a fresh perspective on art which influenced european artists strongly as well. On display in Palazzo Strozzi is a wide and exclusive selection of works, including Whistler, Sargent, Duveneck, Tarbell, Merritt Chase, Dewing and on the european side Boldini, Boecklin among many others. Opening hours is every day from 9.00 - 20.00 A wonderful show that can't be missed and a sign that Florence has more to offer than not only the Renaissance
