Villa Borghese's collection is fruit of the long work of Cardinal Scipione Borghese, a favored nephew of Pope Paul V and a famed patron of the arts. Visitors are ushered into the splendid villa on a double flight of stairs leading to its two floors. The ground floor focuses on classical archeology, and the exhibition on the upper floor features Titian, Rubens, Raphael, Caravaggio, and Botticelli.
Almost all the rooms have a sculpture group the work of the Borghese family's favorite artist: Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The Borghese Gallery is the perfect museum for true art lovers, full of masterpieces by the most influential artists of the 17th and 18th centuries. Some art in this museum that you really should not miss include Antonio Canova's Venus Victrix, depicting the goddess in the likeness of Pauline Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister. The sculpture regarded as the entire collection's greatest gem is Bernini's Rape of Proserpina.
This sculpture group is an unparalleled masterpiece, enchanting visitors with its virtuosity, pathos, dynamism, and the details of Prosperina's body in Pluto's grip. Among the paintings, Caravaggio's Boy with a Basket of Fruitis undoubtedly the biggest draw. The Gallery has a great many Caravaggio paintings. We suggest taking a particularly close look at his Young Sick Bacchus , David with the Head of Goliath, and St. Jerome Writing.
The Borghese Gallery is a treasure trove of art, created with the simple intention of bringing together masterpieces to be appreciated out of love of art. It draws streams of visitors daily and entrance must be booked. Book your skip-the-line ticket, choosing your preferred time range, and don't miss out on a tour of Rome's most fascinating museum.
