It was commissioned by the <strong>banker Guglielmo<\/strong> (Lemmo) di V<strong>inci di Graziano Balducci<\/strong>, who wanted to donate a hospital to the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of the building was entrusted in <strong>1385<\/strong> to <strong>Romolo di Bandino<\/strong> and <strong>Sandro del Vinta<\/strong>, &#8220;<em>masters of stone and wood<\/em>,&#8221; whom he asked to erect a corner loggia on the square, following the example of the <strong>Bonifazio hospital<\/strong> in <strong>Via San Gallo<\/strong>. In <strong>1388<\/strong>, after various events, the banker Lemmo entrusted the same masters with renovating the monastery of the Sisters of <strong>San Niccol\u00f2<\/strong>, instructing them to reuse the existing structures of the old monastery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1410, the San Matteo Hospital was practically put into service. This urban layout, with its corresponding purpose, remained virtually unchanged until <strong>Grand Duke Leopold I<\/strong> of Lorraine arrived. The perspective map of Florence in <strong>1584<\/strong> by the Florentine cartographer Stefano Bonsignori (<em>Nova Pulcherrimae Civitatis Florentine Topographi<\/em>a) accurately shows the urban

them<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, a gallery was decided to be created alongside it to house the ancient paintings being acquired.

They were brought indoors as they were at risk of degradation due to prolonged and continuous exposure to the external environment. These four sculptures, part of a series of six statues (<em>the first two are located at the Louvre Museum in Paris<\/em>), are more significant than life-size, depicted in various poses as prisoners, not wholly freed from the material by the artist and therefore unfinished, were carved by <strong>Michelangelo<\/strong> for <strong>Pope Julius II&#8217;<\/strong>s tomb in <strong>Rome<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until then, they had adorned the <strong>Buontalenti Grotto<\/strong> in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitflorencemuseums.com\/palazzo-vecchio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boboli Gardens<\/a><\/strong>, placed there by the <strong>Grand Duke Cosimo<\/strong> I, to whom they were donated by <strong>Leonardo Buonarroti<\/strong>, the great artist&#8217;s nephew, after his death. The new arrivals were placed after the vestibule of the entrance on <strong>Via Ricasoli<\/strong> in the first Gallery, later named the <strong>Gallery of the Prisoners<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They joined the famous group of <strong>Saint Matthew<\/strong>, already present in the<strong> Accademia<\/strong>, and were accompanied by the <strong>Piet\u00e0 from Palestrina<\/strong> (<strong><em>a marble group dramatically depicting the dead Jesus collapsing on his legs and supported by the Mother<\/em><\/strong>), which came from the Chapel of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitromemuseums.com\/st-peters-basilica\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barberini Palace<\/a><\/strong> in Palestrina near Rome, following its acquisition by the Italian State in 1939.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new arrivals, the Gallery of ancient paintings acquired an organic value in the artistic life of <strong>Michelangelo Buonarroti<\/strong>. It became the most abundant collection of the great master preserved in a museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this period, under the direction of <strong>Cosimo Ridolfi<\/strong>, the <strong>Accademia Gallery<\/strong> underwent a new transformation, mainly affecting the collection of paintings. Alongside the reorganization of the ancient paintings with their relocation in specifically designated rooms, such as those of the 14th, 15th, and 17th centuries, new exhibition spaces were created in the left wing of the Tribune, now known as the Rooms of the 13th and Early 14th centuries, the Orcagna and his followers, and the <strong>School of Giotto<\/strong>, where works by <strong>Botticelli<\/strong> and <strong>Perugino<\/strong> found better placement.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id3665_7dee47-f9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id3665_7dee47-f9 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id3665_7dee47-f9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id3665_7dee47-f9 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id3665_7dee47-f9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id3665_7dee47-f9 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id3665_7dee47-f9 alignnone has-palette-color-6-background-color kt-row-has-bg wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column3665_aed628-c7 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column3665_aed628-c7\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3665_c74396-43, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3665_c74396-43[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3665_c74396-43\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3665_c74396-43 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3665_c74396-43[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3665_c74396-43\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3665_c74396-43 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading3665_c74396-43[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3665_c74396-43\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<h2 class=\"kt-adv-heading3665_c74396-43 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading3665_c74396-43\"><strong>Florence Travel Guides<\/strong> You May Like &#8211;

They were named so because they housed the plaster cast of an ancient statue, one of the Dioscuri of <strong>Monte Cavallo<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They were designated to accommodate large altarpieces from the <strong>16th-century<\/strong> Florentine period. Following these transfers, the Gallery lost any connotation of a modern gallery and became, after this episode, the <strong>Accademia Gallery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the <strong>1950<\/strong>s, under the direction of Luisa Becherucci, the reorganization of the ground floor rooms began with the Colossi halls.
