With hands-on instruction, your art-expert guide will impart the secrets behind ancient techniques and modern methods.
You’ll also be inspired simply by being in Florence, one of the greatest art cities of all time. This is the birthplace of the Renaissance and home to the some of the world’s greatest artists and artworks, from Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, Botticelli and a host of other Old Masters.
All materials will be supplied to your small group of up to 8 people. Choose to paint a still life or create your very own copy of a famous work. Or perhaps you’d rather sculpt, finding inspiration to form the figure of your choice.

Fresco, meaning fresh in Italian, is the revered art of painting on fast-drying damp plaster with water based pigments. During the Renaissance, fresco painting was considered the true test of an artist's skill, since one had to finish before the plaster dried in order to ensure the adhesion of the image to the wall. During this 3-hour hands-on Florence Fresco Workshop, we'll learn basic fresco technique from a local Florentine artist who is a master of fresco painting. Proceeding along the same time-consuming, but deeply rewarding, process that artists like Michelangelo and Rafael used to paint some of the finest masterworks from the era, we'll put our artistic skills to the test, learning just what it takes to create the kind of stunning frescoes one can see throughout Florence. Along the way, we'll gain a deeper, tactile understanding of the development, creation, and legacy of Renaissance art. Florence Fresco Workshop Our session begins with a visit to the studio of our docent, an accomplished fresco artist, and a brief discussion of the history of fresco. What is it? How did it develop over the centuries? Does it really involve eggs? And, why was it considered the most difficult medium for a Renaissance artist? This will provide us with the necessary historical context to both appreciate the task we are about to undergo, and to look at Renaissance frescos in a new light, not merely enjoying them for their aesthetic quality but for the process by which they were actualized. We will also take a look at some of the greatest examples of fresco painting, including masterworks of some of Florence's greatest artists. Hands-on Guidance We will then be taken through the steps of preparing a surface, drawing and transferring a drawing (cartoon), and finally applying the paint. Be warned. It's difficult. It's also, however, a lot of fun. Along the way our docent will give us tips and advice, and continue his discussion about fresco and its place in the pantheon of art. At the end, we'll go home with our own hand-made fresco painting. Seeking some artistic inspiration? Try our Uffizi Tour or our Pitti Palace Tour. Take Aways The primary objective of this workshop is to explore first-hand the art of fresco painting by using the same materials and techniques of the Renaissance masters. Our docent's method of combining art historical knowledge with artistic practice provides for a unique educational and entertaining experience for travelers of all ages.

VISIT OF THE MUSEUM

Duration: 1 hour

Join this Rome tour and see Caravaggio's best artworks in Rome's churches — with exclusive-access to an art restoration lab.

This tour takes you behind the scenes of an all-female, art restoration lab, who hold the honor of being one of two labs in the world who have restored 3 Caravaggio's. You'll hear the behind-the-scenes story of the restoration of Caravaggio's Madonna of Loreto, in the church of Sant' Agostino. At the close of the tour, enjoy a complimentary aperitivo with the restorers, in the incomparable atmosphere of the lab. 

Before the lab, you'll visit the church of Sant' Agostino and see the Madonna of Loreto, a Caravaggio the master artist/scientists of the lab actually restored. Then, you'll see the masterful St. Matthew series at San Luigi dei Francesi.

In Sant’ Agostino, see the painting that shook Rome to its core; Madonna dei Pellegrini. This Mary may well have been a prostitute; fittingly, as Sant’Agostino was the Roman Church favored by courtesans, in the 15th century.

Madonna dei Pellegrini is one of 3 Caravaggio paintings restored by the master artisans/scientists who run the art restoration lab you’ll visit later in the tour. They hold the honor of being one of only 2 studios in the world who have restored 3 Caravaggio’s!

Continue to San Luigi dei Francesi to see Caravaggio’s masterful series from the life of St. Matthew. Caravaggio’s use of normal Romans as models and his homoerotic gaze are at their most evocative.

Finally, enjoy exclusive private access to an art restoration lab. Meet the artist/scientists who devote their days to restoring Rome’s masterpieces. Learn the techniques behind the modern restoration and Renaissance painting, and speak to those who have actually restored Caravaggio’s work. Even better, enjoy a complimentary aperitivo!

Join our Private Tour of Caravaggio’s Rome & Art Restoration Lab to see the best works of Caravaggio in Rome and meet those who work tirelessly to preserve Rome’s masterpieces.
