FLORENTINE ART IN THE BAROQUE 
THE HAUKOHL FAMILY COLLECTION 
The exhibition shows masterpieces 
from the Haukohl Family Collection, 
probably the most important ensem- 
ble of Florentine Baroque art outside 
of Italy. The collection, assembled over 
more than 35 years, is touring for the 
first time in Europe since 2018. The 
works clearly demonstrate that the 
Florentine artists of the 
17th 
and early 
18th 
centuries influenced European art 
history to a far greater extent than 
art historical research and the general 
public have previously perceived. 
Allegories, religious motifs, genre scenes 
and portraits by Jacopo da Empoli, Fe- 
lice Ficherelli, Francesco Furini, and On- 
orio 
Marinari form the core of the collection. 
Several works from the MNHA collec- 
tion will also be shown for the first time, 
such as Pier Dandini’s Banquet of 
Cleopatra and Mark Antony or Ottavio 
Vannini’s portraits of the evangelists 
Luke and John. As a whole, the exhi- 
bition shows the deep interest of the 
Florentine Baroque for science and for 
painting based on “disegno” (drawing 
or preliminary study). Most art works 
also feature magnificent (partly even 
historical) frames, enhancing the un- 
adulterated flair of the baroque.
