Johan Zoffany is a German-born painter who has become a success in London. One of its main customers is the royal family. In the summer of 1772, Zoffany left London for Florence with a commission from Queen Charlotte to paint the 'Florence Gallery'. (Both he and her husband, George III, had visited Italy privately.) The agreed price was high and Zoffany was paid £ 300. Felton Hervey, who had a large art collection and who knew the Royal family, met Zoffany in Florence. He was included in a prominent position in the painting in December 1772. Zoffany was still working on the painting at the end of 1777; he eventually returned to England in 1779. By this time Hervey had died.

Artwork displayed
Zoffany has changed the composition of artwork and introduced others elsewhere in the Medici collection. He was privileged, with the help of George, 3rd Earl Cowper, and Sir Horace Mann, 1st Baronet, as having seven paintings, including Raphael's Madonna della Sedia, taken temporarily from the Pitti Palace so that he could paint them on the spot. in Tribuna. As a thank you, Zoffany includes a portrait of Cowper who saw the recent acquisition, Nicie-Cowper Madonna Raphael (Cowper hopes to sell it to George III; now at Washington National Art Gallery), with Zoffany holding it (left of Dancing Faun).
The unfined Samian Sibyl on the floor was acquired for the Medici collection in 1777. This is a copy of the pendant workshop for Guercino Libyan Sibyl , recently purchased by George III, and probably intended as a compliment to him.
Painting
Sculpture and more
Now the Ancient Romican Medici statues are mostly located in the main corridor of the Uffizi Gallery, except those still in the Tribuna, and except for small statues and sculptures (some antique, some pseudo-antique), owned by the National Archaeological Museum and permanently displayed at Villa Corsini a Castello, near Florence. Many of them painted by Zoffany still have to be identified, you. Other antiques (Etruscan, Egypt, Greece) are mostly located in the National Archaeological Museum. Some very few Renaissance pieces from the Tribuna are now in the Bargello Museum.
People are shown
All connoisseurs, diplomats and visitors to Florence are portrayed as identifiable, making the painting a fusion of the 18th-century English conversation or informal portrait group, with a tradition dominated by the 17th-century Flemish of galleries and wunderkerammers. However, the entry of so many unrecognizable portraits led to criticism at the time by Zoffany's royal supporters, and by Horace Walpole, who called him "a group of traveling children, and people who did not know or care who."
The first group of people is around Niccolini Madonna. From the left, standing, there is George, the 3rd Earl Cowper, the Sir John Dick Braid baronet, the Other Windsor, the 6th Earl of Plymouth, and Johann Zoffany, the painter himself, following on the other side of Mr. Stevenson and his partner George Legge, the 3rd Earl of Dartmouth, while sitting in the chair of Charles Loraine Smith and behind him, bent, Richard Edgcumbe, then the 2nd Earl of Mount Edgcumbe.
The other two lovers are near Satiro . The first to be reported is Joseph Leeson, 2nd Earl Milltown, even if his portrait does not match his age and resemblance to that of the National Gallery of Ireland by Pompeo Batoni, and Valentine Knightley of Fawsley.
Further to the center of the painting Pietro Bastianelli, curator of the Uffizi Gallery, shows Venus Urbino in Titian to John Gordon, Thomas Patch (probably the one who touches Venus) Sir John Taylor and Sir Horace Mann. The man sitting, looking back, is Hon. Felton Hervey.
Groups around Medici Venus include John Finch, the 9th Earl of Winchilsea, Mr. Wilbraham (one of Roger Wilbraham's sons from Natwich), Mr. Watts, Mr. Doughty and, on the other hand, Thomas Wilbraham (second son) and James Bruce.
