The exhibition is part of agreements the Uffizi signed with the city of Hong Kong in 2019, which included sending some 40 works of art to China in return for a 600,000-euro contribution from Hong Kong to the Florence museum.

The exhibition, sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, is under the patronage of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and is jointly organized by the Uffizi and the Hong Kong Museum of Art.

There will then be focuses on the role of Medici patronage and the importance of literati in the development of Renaissance art themes.
