Giambologna’s famous Rape of the Sabine Women, the Dispute of the Immaculate Conception by Carlo Portelli and other paintings and sculptures of the Renaissance exhibited here demonstrate the spirit of freedom and artistic expression which spread from Italy to the rest of Europe. The Galleria dell' Accademia’s splendid collection of Renaissance painting and sculpture is the hallmark of Florence.
