The exhibition is linked to a project series titled
Relocated in which well-known works receive temporary new homes, engaging viewers in an entirely different viewing experience. Medici tapestries and the Chimera of Arezzo have also been innovatively placed as part of the initiative.
Director of The British Institute of Florence Simon Gammell commented "I'm delighted and frankly astonished to see the work in the Sala Leone X because it's almost like seeing it for the first time. It has a completely different resonance and affect in this contained cube of space as opposed to the open cloister of Santa Croce. It becomes far more intimate and, certainly for me, more powerful and more focused when framed in this space."
