This educational video from the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze masterfully illustrates the evolution and revival of gold backgrounds in Tuscan panel paintings. It explores how sacred gold grounds gave way to naturalistic landscapes in the 15th century. Through striking examples like altarpieces and cassoni, viewers gain insight into the artistic choices that defined early Renaissance visual language.
