Antony Gormley’s 'Essere' at the Uffizi
London-born artist Antony Gormley seems to feel at home among Renaissance masters, whose works often tackle the same topics that he finds himself embracing some 500 years later. Varying the aesthetic and metaphysical results of the humanist subject matter that Gormley tackles could be seen as difficult, but over the course of ten years and three exhibitions the British sculpture giant has succeeded in changing his approach every time.
