MichelangeloÕs Slaves, which seem to be trying to erupt form the coarse marble encasing them, are themselves worth a visit here. But of course, his Palestrina Piet and his iconic but uneasy David (sculpted when the artist was just 25) are not to be missed. Two superb Botticelli paintings are also here: Madonna of the Sea, and the very sensitive Madonna with the Young Saint John and Angels.
