Florence, the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, is the perfect setting for this workshop dedicated to Figure anatomy-figure drawing, and art history. During this 5-day workshop, we will practice drawing the figure from life following the Florentine structural system, a method that was described by Leon Battista Alberti in the 15th century and revolutionised the way the human figure was depicted in art. This method is still in use today.
The workshop will be an itinerary through the vast treasures of Florence.
